TALK Homework Monday 1st December 2014
Christmas is coming!
Friday will be our
last Big Write session for the term and I will be using this piece of writing
to assess the children’s progress this term.
Therefore I have decided to base this piece of writing on the
traditional story of Christmas. On
Friday, the children are going to retell the traditional story of Christmas in
their own words. Please could you
discuss the following:
Who was involved? Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, The Wise Men, angel
Gabriel, innkeeper, shepherds,
Where?
Nazareth, Bethlehem
What happened? Baby
Jesus was born, God’s son, to Mary and Joseph in a stable in Bethlehem.
When? 25th
December
There is a lovely
interactive story for you to share on the website below:
or
why not curl up with a book and share the story together. Pay particular
attention to key words e.g. frankincense, myrrh, gold, star, stable, inn,
manger, shepherds, peace and goodwill, taxes and their meaning.
You
may also want to make a note in your treasuries of any WOW words you could
include within your story to extend your sentences e.g. Gently, Mary laid Jesus to
sleep in a wooden manager swathed in a crisp white cloth
A
new sparkling star shone in the crisp, cold night sky.
Finally, a kind, humble innkeeper
took pity on them and allowed them to rest within his cold but welcoming stable.
Have
fun and enjoy the countdown to Christmas!
Spellings:
watch, their, have, came, make, small
