This half term we have based our learning around two traditional stories, as we particularly wanted to focus on using ‘Talk for Writing’. This was developed by a man called Pie Corbett.
Pie Corbett’s theory is that using his process, children build up a bank of texts, both fiction and non-fiction which they learn orally. They can then tell the stories fluently, can discuss and evaluate the stories, and they gain a bank of vocabulary from which they can utilise to create their own verbal texts.
