To use imaginative description *create characters, settings and plots*use alliteration effectively*use similes effectively

To organise writing appropriately

*use organisational devices such as headings and subheadings

To use paragraphs *organise paragraphs around a themeTo use sentences appropriately *use a mixture of simple, compound and complex sentences

Year 3 Fiction See Writing Overview Document on the school’s website for the overview for writing in Year 3 and LOs for handwriting

Chose 6 from the following 8 fiction genres: Wishing, Warning, Beating the monster, Journey Stories-quest/adventure, Losing, Suspense, Fantasy, Change eg Cinderella. See story types, generic grids from Pie Corbett. Play scripts

Poetry: Shape poems, observation poems, poems on the senses, performance poems, poems that play with language see Writing Models Year 3 by Pie Corbett

Key Teaching Points for Fiction.1. Identify the genre-the type of story/poem2. Familiarise the pupils with the text. (Learn it off by heart)3. Deconstruct the text onto the story mountain-identify the beginning, middle and end of

the story and what happens in each section4. Identify the features of the text5. Pull out specific words, phrases and sentences pupils ought to use6. Identify the strands of the story that will be changed, otherwise ‘hug’ the text7. Model thinking of a new version of the story and mapping it8. Use the map to model writing your own version with the class9. Pupils write their own story maps10. Pupils tell their stories from the maps11. Pupils write their stories12. Select a specific element(s) to edit and model editing before children to the same

Terminology to teach the children.Genre-particular kind of writing. See Pie Corbett’s ‘Story Types-Genetic Grid.’(found in the school’s Literacy Framework File)

Features of the text-See the following documents in the school’s Literacy Framework File Story mountain planning framework St Andrew’s Writing Criteria Basic skills checklist (in Lit Framework fileAlso see Pie Corbett’s book ‘Writing Models’ for the year group you are teaching

Introduction-the opening paragraph of a story (5Ws)Journey-the paragraph(s) leading to the climax which usually involve the main character taking a physical or emotional journeyThe build up-the paragraph(s) before the Climax. Usually short sentences used for dramatic tensionThe Climax/problem-paragraph(s) where the hero confronts the villainThe Resolution-the paragraph(s) where the problem is resolvedThe Ending-the last neat line

Stories are either A-B-A or A-B-C. A being a safe place at the start of the story. B is the unsafe setting at the climax and the story ends in a safe setting again either back at A or in a new setting CConsolidate: finger spaces, letter, words, sentence, full stops, capital letters, question marks, exclamation marks, speech bubbles, inverted commas/speech marks.

The suffix –ation

The suffix –ation is added to verbs to form nouns. The rules already

learnt still apply.

information, adoration, sensation, preparation, admiration

Year 3 (consolidate in Yr4)

The suffix –ly

The suffix –ly is added to an adjective to form an adverb. The rules

already learnt still apply:

The –ly suffix starts with a consonant, so it is added straight on to most

root words unless they end with y.

If the root word ends with y, the y is changed to i.

Exceptions:

1.If the root word ends with –le, the –le is changed to –ly.

2. If the root word ends with –ic, –ally is added rather than just –ly,

except in the word publicly.

sadly, completely, usually (usual + ly), comically (comical +

ly)

happily, angrily,

gently, simply, humbly, nobly

basically, frantically, dramatically

3. The words truly, duly, wholly,

Year 3 (consolidate in Yr4)

Words with endings sounding like

/zhuh/ or /chuh/

The ending sounding like /zhuh/ is always spelt –sure.

The ending sounding like /chuh/ is often spelt –ture, but check that the

word is not a root word ending in (t)ch with an er ending – e.g. teacher,

catcher, richer, stretcher.

measure, treasure, pleasure, enclosure picture, adventure,

creature, furniture, departure, mixture

Year 3 (consolidate in Yr4)

Endings which sound like /zhun/

If the ending sounds like /zhun/, it is spelt as –sion

division, invasion, confusion, decision, collision, television

Year 3 (consolidate in Yr4)

The suffix –ous

Sometimes the root word is obvious and the usual rules apply for

adding suffixes beginning with vowels.

Sometimes there is no obvious root word.

–our is changed to –or before –ous is added.

A final ‘e’ must be kept if the /j/ sound of ‘g’ is to be kept.

If there is an /i/ sound before the –ous ending, it is usually spelt as i,

but a few words have e (e.g. spontaneous, hideous, piteous)

poisonous, dangerous, mountainous, nervous, famous,

various,

tremendous, enormous, obvious, pompous, previous,

ravenous

humorous, glamorous, vigorous

courageous, outrageous

serious, previous, obvious, furious, envious

Endings which sound like /shun/,

s Year 3 (consolidate in Yr4)

pelt –tion, –sion, –ssion, –cian

to put t, s, ss or c before these endings often come from the last letter

or letters of the root word.

–tion is the most common spelling. It is used if the root word ends in t

(invent) or te (inflate).

–ssion is used if the root word ends in ss (express) or –mit (permit).

–sion is used if the root word ends in d or se (Exceptions: attend –

attention; intend – intention)

–cian is used if the root word ends in c or cs (e.g. music – musician,

politics – politician).

expression, discussion, confession, permission,

transmission, admission

expansion, extension, comprehension, tension

musician, electrician, politician, magician, mathematician

Year 4

Words with the /k/ sound spelt ch

(Greek in origin)

school, chorus, chemist, Christmas, character, anchor

Year 3

Words with the /sh/ sound spelt ch

(mostly French in origin)

chef, chalet, machine, brochure, champagne, chauffeur

Page 17: €¦  · Web viewonsolidate: finger spaces, letter, words, sentence, full stops, capital letters, question marks, exclamation marks, speech bubbles, inverted commas/speech marks

Year 3

Words ending with the /g/ sound

spelt –gue and the /k/ sound spelt –

que (French in origin)

league, tongue, synagogue, antique, unique, mosque

Year 4

Words with the /s/ sound spelt sc

(Latin in origin)

The Romans probably pronounced the sc in the Latin words from which

these words come as /sk/, so mentally pronouncing these words that way may help with spelling – e.g. the pronunciation /skene/ can be

used when learning to spell scene.

science, scene, scissors, muscle, disciple, fascinate

Year 3 (consolidate in Yr4)

Words with the /ai/ sound spelt ei,

eigh, or ey

vein, weigh, eight, neighbour, they, obey

Year 3 (consolidate in Yr4)

Possessive apostrophe with plural

words

The apostrophe is placed after the plural form of the word; – s is not

added if the plural already ends in s, but is added if the plural does not

end in s (i.e. is an irregular plural – e.g. children’s).

girls’, boys’, babies’, children’s, men’s, mice’s

(Note: singular proper nouns ending in an ‘s’ use the ‘s

notation e.g. Cyprus’s population)

Year 3 (consolidate in Yr4)

Homophones or near-homophones

accept/except, affect/effect, ball/bawl, berry/bury,

brake/break, fair/fare, grate/great, groan/grown, here/hear,

heel/heal/he’ll, knot/not, mail/male, main/mane, meat/meet,

medal/meddle, missed/mist, peace/piece, plain/plane,

rain/rein, scene/seen

Year 3-Words to be learnt Many root words need to be learnt, but once they are learnt, and the

rules and guidelines for adding prefixes and suffixes are known, many

long words can be spelt correctly.

Understanding relationships between words can help with spelling

medicine is related to medical

opposite is related to oppose, so the schwa sound in opposite is spelt

as o.

regular sounds as if it might end in the letters –er, but the clear /a/ in

the related word regularity shows that regular must end with the letters

ar.

material, medicine, mention, multiply,

murmur, nephew, occasion, often,

opposite, paragraph, particular,

peculiar, position, possess, produce,

professor, promise, property, prove,

Year 4-words to be learnt . Many root words need to be learnt, but once they are learnt, and the

rules and guidelines for adding prefixes and suffixes are known, many

long words can be spelt correctly.

Understanding relationships between words can help with spelling

A few examples:

conscience is related to science – both come from the Latin word

meaning ‘to know’.

bicycle is cycle (from the Greek for wheel) with bi– (meaning two)

before it.

accident, advertise, approve, benefit,

behave, bicycle, breath, breathe,

building, calendar, certain, concentrate,

chocolate, congratulate, conscience,

continue, decorate, describe, dictionary,

difficult, discover, disturb, early, earn,

earth, educate, excite, experience,

experiment, explore, extreme, February,

grammar, guide, guard, half, heart,

immediate, improve, increase,

independent, injure, inquire, interest,

island, junior, knowledge, library,

Words which are often misspelt

when prefixes or suffixes are added

If these words are thought of in terms of root words and the rules for

adding prefixes and suffixes are then applied, the words are less likely

to be misspelt.

disappear (just add dis to appear)

disappoint (just add dis to appoint)

beginning (double the n at the end of begin to keep the

short /i/ sound before it)

business (busy + ness, with the y of busy changed to i according to the rule)

necessary, unnecessary (just add un to necessary);

Page 20: €¦  · Web viewonsolidate: finger spaces, letter, words, sentence, full stops, capital letters, question marks, exclamation marks, speech bubbles, inverted commas/speech marks

necessarily (add ly, changing the y of necessary to i

according to the rule)
