Activities in this teaching pack include a template to select and record the sequence of events that could happen in a narrative story with a familiar setting to storyboard and illustrate what might happen when a new character joins a school.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore some of the different events that might happen when a new character joins a school when planning a narrative story.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to plan and write a story using familiar settings based on a book by a significant author, practise building words using roots and prefixes and use nouns in sentences with matching determinants. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
