Once upon a time……….

Throughout National Storytelling week the children have brought their storytelling skills to life by using  a number of different mediums.  They have been able to link what they know about characters, problems and the setting within their play to retell some very amusing and interesting stories.

A story created by Mirryn and Cole

Once upon a time Betty was at the shops when she realised she needed the toilet.  She met Humpty Dumpty and asked him, “is there a toilet anywhere?” He replied “No”.  Betty then met Little Red Riding Hood who was buying cakes for her granny.  Little red Riding Hold told Betty.  “You’ll need to go home if you need the toilet.”

Then , as Betty walked home she saw Sid and Shannarri, so she waved at them and asked, “are there any toilets?” They replied, “follow the road up to the nursery and press the green bell.” So Betty arrived at the nursery and saw the troll who was hiding  at the gates.  The troll said, “move on”.  She pressed the buzzer and Lorraine said “come in”.  As Betty opened the door, she met Purple Luigi who tried to push her out the nursery, but Betty manages to shove him out of the door.  Betty eventually found the toilet in time.  She lived happily ever after.
