Pigs Might Fly - Talk 4 Writing
This is a video of Mr Wilkinson telling the 'Pigs might fly story' when he was teaching in Year one!
Here is a video of the words and actions we have been learning as a year group.
This story can also be practised using our story map we have created together. Here is the beginning of the story as a story map.
Listen to the video and see if together you can match the map to the lines from the story.
Did you follow the story map so far? Below is the entire story map so you can see just how much the year 1 children have been learning together in our story telling sessions.
Ridiculous
Here is the story and the actions for our story. We actually had some winter in our background! Well done if you can identify the birds who were so keen to join in with the filming.
