Hansel, Gretal and you…Who?

A comical retelling of the classic fairy tale with lots and lots of twists!

Hansel and Gretal have been turned into oven gloves and don’t know what to do! They go on a journey around the world, looking for food and some friends. After bumping into some sporting animals who just want to relay race, they fall into the witches’ kitchen and get trapped. Luckily, the Gingerbread Man has a great idea to save them, he’ll just need some help from….you!!!

Emma Coyne - "I liked making 'sh'words". Marcus - "There are lots of 'sh' words. Aimen - "I liked making shiny paper 'sh' words. Hamish -
The children were learning to sound out and spell words with the phonic sound ‘sh’. They used memory strategies, word banks and displays to help them. Their spelling skills and communication skills will improve as they practice their phonic sounds throughout the year.                                               Emma Coyne – “I know lots of ‘sh’words”.
Marcus – “I can see and hear lots of ‘sh’ words.
Aimen – “I liked making shiny paper ‘sh’ words.
Hamish – “I have ‘sh’ in my name!
