'''Reflective prompts:''' You need to talk about how you have to think hard about what the letter says. You might want to suggest what kinds of things you are thinking about e.g. musing to yourself “Now how would a letter from Goldilocks to the three bears start? Ah yes that’s what it says, it says “Dear Father Bear” etc. You would need to remind the children that they are reading out the words someone else has written - as if they are Goldilocks or Noah giving instructions to build an ark etc. You might model getting stuck and re-reading your last sentence. During the paired work the children should be left to work together, but you might suggest before they split into pairs that they think about what they have to do and tell that to each other first. Whilst they are writing you might go round and ask “How is it going?” “What have you still got to do?” | '''Reflective prompts:''' You need to talk about how you have to think hard about what the letter says.
