Wednesday 10th June

Let’s write about your favourite pet.  Imagine that one day you find out that your pet has super powers!  Use your imagination and think about:

• What is your pet called?
• What is their super power?
• What and who do they help/save?
• What happens in the end? 

Can you use this information to help you plan a story about your super pet?  Can you create a story map showing what happens in the beginning, middle and end of the story? Remember to use pictures and simple captions to help you create your story map.

Thursday 11th June

Use the information in your story map, can you write your own story about your super pet?  Remember:

• Write an opening paragraph where you introduce your pet, their name and how you find out they have a super power.
• Write a paragraph about how your pet helps people/ saves the day
• Write a happy ending to the story – what happens to the pet?

Friday 12th June

Can you create a title and front cover for your story?  Remember to say who the author is (That’s you!)

Have fun and send us pictures of your amazing super pets!
