Adaptive Teaching-Use small world animals.  Make a line of 5. Touch each position and name it. Ask the children to point to the different positions. 

To punctuate simple sentences with capital letters and full stops.

Today we are going to use the ideas from the shared story map to write the beginning of our innovated story. Your teacher will model what good writing looks like.

Adaptive teaching-

Model writing the first two sentences. Say the sentences a couple of times first using actions. Use 'thinking out loud' strategies to show children how to segment for spelling.

"I know how to spell Zog because I have written it before. (Using phoneme fingers) Z - o - g. It is the start of the sentence, so I must use a capital letter. (Looking at the word) does it look correct? Yes. So now I know to leave a space before the next word. Oh, it's a tricky word that I have learned. w- a- s. etc. How do I show that I have finished my sentence?"

Can we retell the story of the Nativity in order?

Last week, we learned about the important characters in the Nativity (the story of the birth of Jesus)

How much do you remember?

What were the names of the main characters?

Who do you think is the most important character?

Who do Christians believe is the most important? Why?

Let's rewatch the video to remind ourselves of the events that took place.

Watch - The Christmas Story for Kids | The Nativity | The Birth of Jesus Twinkle 

Now we are going to sequence pictures in the correct order in a zigzag book.

Adaptive teaching- retell the events using roll play with costumes and baby. Use some of the language from the story (as told in the Bible)e.g. do not be afraid- you will have a baby called Jesus- the baby was the Son of God. Use enough space that they understand that a journey had to happen for Mary and Joseph and then the shepherds.
