Read aloud

Read the book to children pausing to look closely at the pictures as you do. Children will enjoy hearing it more than once and joining in with the parts they remember. Talk about the book Read The Train Ride. Identify what the characters see on the journey. List ideas as words or phrases. Show sequencing words ( resources) and model converting the ideas into an oral recount.This is a three-week Writing Root for Naughty Busby Jan Oke.As well creating their own story, the children will have the opportunity to write two simple pieces of information writing, one based on buses and another on toys. Initially, the children will share information about buses and try and to find out what they already know about buses to create a shared simple piece of information writing. After this, there will be some drama where the classroom is messed up or someone has drawn on something! The teacher will read part of Naughty Bus and the children will start to look for evidence to prove it is indeed Naughty Bus who has caused the chaos.After reading all of the book, the children will use Naughty Bus to innovate upon, inventing the sequel for his adventures. This will be based on the local area and will involve children captioning photos of the bus up to no good in other settings. To structure this, the children will use storyboards which they will have had modelled for them. Finally, the children will look at toys and bring their own in. They will have the opportunity to sort and categorise the toys and then create a piece of shared information writing as well as their own, before writing their own naughty toy adventure.
