To help use learn how to record and punctuate dialogue in our English lessons, we have chosen the book ‘Not Now, Bernard!’

In this repetitive book, poor Bernard get ignored by his parents and they don’t even realise when he has been eaten by a monster! This book has created opportunities for great discussion about how we would feel if we were poor Bernard. We learnt the story with the help of signifiers and then created a story map using simple symbols. This map will then help us when we later innovate and write our own version of this story.

George loved retelling this story!
