Can you match the descriptions to the correct workplace?
school
newsroom
construction site
hospital
1. Here you can find a lot of tools and machinery. It is a noisy, busy place.
2. This workplace never closes. People need to be here at all
times of the day to care for the patients.
4. There is a lot of recording equipment in this workplace. People
are busy reading, writing and speaking to others on camera throughout
the day.
3. Here you can find people of different
ages. At times it is very quiet while everyone is busy concentrating and at times it full of noisy
fun and games.

Story characters
Think about who will be in your story. Decide who will be your main character. It
could be someone who works or shops on the high street.

Sharing your story
How will you share your story?
Here are some ideas:
• Tell your story aloud to family members in your home or on the phone.
• Write your story down. You could make your own book with added illustrations.
• Draw your story. Tell your story through a series of pictures.
• Build your story. Build a model of the street or the shop where your story takes place using a cardboard box.
