Lesson 1:
Are you ready to write the story of Little Red Riding Hood yourself? This week we are going to use our powers as story tellers, to tell the traditional tale in our own way. That means we can change things, whilst still using the same story idea.
We need to plan! So can you draw your main character (like Little Red Riding Hood), your setting (where) and your bad character (like the wolf). See my plan below.
Lesson 2: Read the beginning of my story. Can you tell what I have added to make it different? Have I used any different words or ideas?
Once upon a time an adventurous boy called Little Blue Riding Hood went to visit his aunt. One dark and drizzly day he trudged through the wood. Birds were singing but he couldn’t see them. Under his arm he carried some rolled up drawings to show his aunt. As he was walking a friendly bear asked him where he was going. They chatted for a while and then the bear said goodbye. The bear ran to the aunt’s house and put on her clothes. Arriving at his aunt’s house, Little Blue Riding Hood knocked and went in…..
Can you write the beginning of your story and describe who you are and where you are going?
Lesson 2:
I have now written the middle and end part of my story and made my character arrive at the cottage ….
Sitting in the chair was Little Blue Riding Hood’s aunt.
“Oh Aunty, what big, furry ears you have,” said Little Blue Riding Hood.
“All the better to hear you with,” said the bear.
“What a big nose you have,” said Little Blue Riding Hood.
“All the better to smell you with,” said the bear.
“What big paws you have,” whispered Little Blue Riding Hood.
“All the better to grab you with,” growled the bear.
Little Blue Riding Hood recognised the bear and ran out of the house. As the bear followed he tripped him up and sat on him. His real aunt ran to help him and they both rolled the bear down a big hill, never to be seen again!
Can you write the next part of your story. Perhaps you can change even more of it?

Don’t forget to check your work. Have you remembered full stops, finger spaces and capital letters? I hope so!
