Yes, even us old, decrepit teachers grew up with the Traditional Stories (sometimes known as Fairy Tales) that we all know and love today! My personal favourite was The Three Little Pigs - this may have had something to do with the fact that my mummy is obsessed with pigs!
What Traditional Stories do you know and love? I bet you have sat reading some with your grown ups ... perhaps you have read one to a brother, sister or cousin?
Over the next few weeks we will be exploring what makes a good Traditional Story, and using that knowledge to rewrite and even create a 'Fairy Tale' of our own! We will be using all of the writing techniques we have been learning throughout the year to create our own wonderful piece of writing!
This web-link will take you through to links for some tales that you may know... http://www.topmarks.co.uk/Search.aspx?q=fairy+tales |
