Summer 1 - Stories from other Cultures

 

 This unit explores story structure using a story from another culture. Dragon Slayer, which is an adventure story set in China, provides a very exciting model for the children to explore using pace and suspense to add excitement to their narratives. We will explore the story and how the main character - Mai-ling - defeats the dragon terrorising her village, before continuing the story with her facing a horrifying ogre rampaging through the nearby forest.

Summer 2 - Play scripts

We begin the term by looking at a play centred around a sibling rivalry on Father's Day. We will then use this to explore the range of structural features of play scripts and their various purposes before the children write a play script based around dealing with a malicious bully at the park.
