The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs in year 3

 This half term, year 3 have been reading 'The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs' We wrote a story as a class based on the book. For our independent write we wrote our own 'True' stories about Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. To finish off the unit we wrote a balanced argument looking at if the wolf was good or bad in the 3 Little Pigs. The children came up with some good arguments for both sides. To help improve our writing we then edited our own work and read it to our partner.
