23 Sep Year 4 – Week 2
This week in writing, Year 4 have been retelling a very well-known fairy tale, but have added some exciting twists along the way. Here is a snippet of Muyiwa’s fantastic writing; he worked really hard to ensure that he was meeting the success criteria throughout the lesson and even managed to include some of our key vocabulary words! Can you guess what fairy tale he is retelling?
Once upon a time, There was a boy called Jack who lived in a rusty cottage in the middle of the glorious countryside. He lived with his polite, caring mother, five chickens, two pigs and an old cow called Molly. Although Jack and his mother were very happy, they were poor. One day, Jack’s mother told him that they had no money left and they had to sell dear, old Molly the cow. Jack sobbed like a baby as he led Molly down to the farmers market.
Suddenly, an evil lady appeared next to Jack. She whispered, “These beans are magical. I will offer them to you for your cow.” Could the beans actually change Jack’s life? When he arrived home, Jack’s mother was so angry that she roared at him like a gorilla and set him straight to his grubby room.
