Leave a comment

Today in the story corner the children have been creating their own stories! We sat together as a group and went Ā round the circle, each child adding onto the story, there was lots of fun and giggles.Ā 

ā€œThere was a dinosaur then a bumble bee.ā€

After creating the fabulous story the children had lots of fun being illustrators. āœļø


ā€œIā€™m drawing the fire engine.ā€
ā€œIā€™m going to draw the dinosaur, he is a giant.ā€
ā€œLook at my bumble bee.ā€

Here is a look at the childrenā€™s fantastic imaginative story and drawings.

Taking part in helicopter stories gives the children the freedom to create the story in the way they want too. Itā€™s a great way to build literacy skills, develop emotional and social skills, explore and extend the childrenā€™s learning all while having lots of fun.Ā

Helicopter stories šŸš

Today, the children had so much fun exploring their imagination and creating helicopter stories. Firstly, we worked together as a team suggesting ideas for our story outline. and we came up with a space theme šŸŒŽ

ā€œthe spaceship and the rocket are crashing into each otherā€

ā€itā€™s a person in the rocketā€

Next, we put our thinking caps on and decided on what roles we would act out and put our story into action!


The children all had different ideas for their helicopter stories, some of the suggestions were:

ā€œThe chocolate brownie stands up in spaceā€

ā€Iā€™m the rocketā€

ā€it exploded when it crashed at the doorā€

ā€the alien fell down with a Big Bangā€

After creating our story we illustrated our characters. Great work everyone šŸ‘

Hereā€™s a look at the childrenā€™s fab imaginative story!

Helicopter stories are a fun way to build literacy skills, develop emotional and social skills, explore and extend a child’s imagination and gain confidence especially when acting them out to their peers. Why don’t you come up with a theme at home and see how the story develops.
