Spring 1
Narrative- James and the Giant Peach
Our class text for this half term is James and the Giant Peach. We will be using this narrative to focus activities around reading and writing exploring the different characters and events within the story. The children will write their own narrative independently at the end of the half term, using James and the a Giant Peach for inspiration but reinventing the story.
