We’re all storytellers in Gecko Class now!
As part of our topic Why are we all so different? we have been thinking about the houses we live in and all the people who live there with us. As part of the project, we learned to re-tell the story of the Three Little Pigs and their very different houses.
Having spent the week learning to tell an extended version of The Three Little Pigs, we decided to capture our story on film to share with the world. I think you’ll agree, the class are doing a great job!
First, we learned the story as a Talking Text, a literacy strategy used to develop oral storytelling and expressive language in children. Using hand signals and a pictorial story map allowed our pupils to learn the entire story! The extended speech required to tell a story of this length helps to create confident and engaging speakers.
If you come into Gecko Class over the coming week, you will be sure to find some Three Little Pigs puppet shows, writing or numeracy activities and even some adapted version of the story! Children have already begun experimenting with new characters, settings and story-lines. As hoped, it’s all talk, talk, talk!
