Welcome to Year 3
at St Anne’s Primary School
Writing
This half term we will be using the book ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker to inspire our writing. This story explores the journey of a little girl who creates her own world with a red marker.
Children will write an adventre story based on ‘Journey’ using the language of Berlie Doherty. Children will consider the following when writing:
Use the present perfect form of verbs in contrast to the past tense
Use prepositions, conjunctions and adverbs to express time, place and cause
Group related ideas into paragraphs
Use a or an according to whether the next word begins with a vowel or a consonant
