Writing in Year 1

We have been thinking about nursery rhymes. We looked closely at the traditional nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill. We thought about the structure of the nursery rhyme and how it has a beginning, middle and end. We also thought about words we could use to describe Jack and Jill. We rewrote the story of Jack and Jill in our own words, remembering there needs to be a beginning, middle and end and using our growing vocabulary to describe.
