We have been studying another Pie Corbet story – Dragonory, similar to the 3 Billy Goats Gruff, it tells the tale of a plucky protagonist outwitting a grumpy Dragon.
These movie sets will be used as part of our stop animation depiction of the Dragonory Story.
Achievement Award
Well done to Charlie and Lou for their combined effort in story telling! Charlie crafted a story following the life of a woman from Shetland who was inspired to train as a nurse after witnessing the heroic deeds of other nurses during WWII. Lou helped Charlie to develop the charaters and round off the story before it was written up.
Achievement Award
This week’s award goes to Robbie for his imaginative work with the Puppeteers! He created the role of Narrator and executed it in style!
Spainish Sounds
As part of our topic this term we are comparing and contrasting Spain with Shetland. We have been learning about the Castanet and its use in flamenco dancing. Take a look at our homemade attempts! We have also been looking at the Spainish Armada and their thwarted invasion attempt. After being forced north and around the top of Scotland, Spanish sailors were said to have visited Fair Isle where knitting ideas were exchanged.
Extending the Narrative
During the past two weeks we have been looking at story telling and focusing on Jack Foretells the Future where a young man appears to tell the future of a hapless farmer. We are making the story our own by creating a puppet show for the whole class based on what we’ve been learning. Others have been using the story as inspiration for their own creations.
