Activities in this teaching pack include a shared reading text to explain how to structure and format a story with a familiar setting that takes place on a school playground, a set of cards to select and role-play narrative ideas for a story set in a school location and a vocabulary word bank to structure and write a story using a familiar setting about something that takes place on a school playground.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to plan and write a narrative story to describe a problem that might occur between friends at school.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to practise composing and presenting narrative stories to illustrate the sequence of events that could happen in locations around a school. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
