We have been focusing on a winter animals.
Some of the discussion
“Penguins live in the South Pole”
“The Daddy looks after the eggs and the Mummy goes to find fish”
“Why are artic foxes white?”
“Because their world is white, so they are camouflaged”
We read “The Little Red Hen” using a PDF on the kindle Fire and then used our “story box” to retell it with mini figures.
We then watched Pie Corbett perform the story on You Tube. He uses a unique “storytelling approach” for children to remember stories with and results with improved literacy. This method was then taken up by the National Strategies ‘Talk for writing’ programme
