Sunshine Online Reading and Writing Children discuss their favourite stories in groups. They arrange their favourite stories into themes such as animals, family, friends. Children give reasons for putting the books in their chosen theme groups.
Children decide where the original idea for a favourite story came from.
Children choose two characters each from a different story they have read. They write a short story telling about when these two characters met. Ask them to share their stories with the class. Think about the different types of writing and reading people do in one day. Children gather examples and show their examples for each day of the week on a poster.
