Watch Mr Pegram's teaching video

Opener

Write sentences that use conjunctions to extend a sentence on the teaching video. Ensure that you use each conjunction successfully.

Main Lesson

Discuss the main features that will grab the reader's attention in a story opener. Recall the work that was completed back in January.

Watch the video Spy Fox up until 55 seconds (you can watch all the video later).

Your job will be to write an exciting opening to the video that would make the reader want to find out what will be happening in the rest of the video.

Watch some shared writing that your teacher in school will be demonstrating.
