“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales,” Einstein said. “If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”
The children and staff in Hargreaves, Butterworth and Potter have really enjoyed their recent topic and had the chance to look at lots of different traditional tales.
Butterworth class performed a fantastic version of the 3 little pigs, as part of their assembly and shared with us the wanted posters they had made to catch the various "baddies" from the stories. They then enjoyed having an adult join them in the classroom and made their puppets. These proved a great hit; with adult and child alike. Miss Ball was able to share lots of positive feedback with the class.
Today Potter class followed suit and invited us to share their knowledge of over 20 traditional tales. They dressed up in a variety of costumes, challenged us to work out which story they were from and they also performed some freeze frame scenes for us.
It has been an exciting topic which has involved stories from many places such as Russia, China and of course the much loved fairy tales we are all familiar with and that Einstein encourages us to read.
