Year 1 patterned stories/stories from other cultures.

I am on the second week of this unit using the renewed framework and am really struggling. Last week I used Dear Zoo, Brown Bear and Polar Bear. I am having trouble planning around phases 3 and 4. If anyone has already delivered this unit, I would really appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks.

We are planning to use So Much by Trish Cooke and Handa's Hen is quite good to for patterns and other cultures.

 

I got "Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain" which is a Kenyan story. We're not writing based on that but did discuss it and identify the pattern etc. We looked for Africa and Kenya on the globe and talked about the different cultures. Another one that was suggested were the Anansi stories.

I am using Handa's surpise and Handa's hen, Sparkle box has some fab downloads and sequencing stuff for this as well

 

I have sat for 3 hours trying to think which books to use (whilst trying to remember what books we have) And have come to the decision i'm going to do handas surprise/handas hen too and we're going on a bear hunt next week.

 

I think I've chosen Handa's Surprise and Handa's Hen too. I'm just having trouble fitting them into phase 3 and 4 of the framework. I must just have a mental block!!!

 

I've just done 'We're going on a Bear Hunt' for 2 weeks (linked it to Kenyan themed stories so I can use Lion Hunt and later link to Handa's Surprise)

 

That sounds great! Could I be really cheeky and ask to see a copy of your plans? lizziehill_uk@yahoo.co.uk

Bear Hunt ties in with my music topic and I would love to do a Bear Hunt/Lion Hunt ourdoor roleplay area.

Thanks.

I've just done a week on Handa's Surprise using some ideas from Literacy Matters. I'm going to do Handa's Hen next week but the Literacy Matters plan is beyond my Year 1s. What sort of independent activities do you give your class? I feel mine really need lots of opportunities to practise writing sentences and sounding out words.

Any advice would be welcome.

Any chance of your plan too:

Just finishing planning the last couple of days, then i'll upload it to the resource bank and post a link.

Just finishing it now, (didn't do it yesterday - it was saturday night after all!) Handa's surprise and Bear Hunt are on the same plan as I do each for 2 weeks in Narrative 2.
