We're going on a bear hunt... the alternative version!

This afternoon we wrote an alternative story of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. We chose different places to visit in the story and for each one thought of two adjectives to describe it, such as "thick, oozy" which is used to describe the mud in the story. Then we decided on the action and sound we would make as we travelled through that place. We practised the story, then worked in groups to make cards to prompt us in our storytelling. Each group had one place to make a picture of. We thought about which materials to use, how to make the picture and what we needed to write. Then we practised telling our story again before performing it for Mrs Comer!

Here is our version of the story:
