Sleeping Beauty

 

 

We are continuing to discuss the story of Sleeping Beauty. After writing a letter to the Prince from the King last week, to thank him for his bravery, this week we shall be focussing on retelling (sequencing) the story of Sleeping Beauty.

 

Please talk about:

 

·         The beginning, middle and end of the story. Encourage your child to retell the story in their own words.

·         Common themes in fairy tale writing: e.g. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, happily ever after…

·         Sentence openers/time words: e.g. Then, next, afterwards, suddenly, finally…

·         Wow words to describe how characters felt at different stages of the story: e.g. concerned, terrified, astonished, overjoyed…

 

Enjoy discussing the wonderful tale of Sleeping Beauty and as ever, use your treasury if you wish to record any of your thoughts.
