Ailis' 'Bristolian' reading.

Y3/4's local dialect
In our Literacy groups we are looking at stories from different cultures. One of the key features we've identified has been how the characters in the stories talk in a 'non-standard' form of grammar. This has taken shape in different forms depending on the locality in which the story has been set. To try and show the difference between standard English and a 'non-standard' form, my Literacy group practiced changing a short extract from 'Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone' into 'Bristolian'.
