As part of their Fairy Tales topic, the whole class became confident participating in and leading a range of stories. The Talk4Writing, shown here, links actions with words to encourage active and expressive storytelling, even in some of our younger students. It also allows children to extend their speech by rehearsing a shared story.
Children interacted with stories in a variety of forms, from book-readings and drama performances to watching different versions of their favourite nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Throughout the topic preschool students were encouraged to re-create and adapt stories through play, puppetry and role-play.
