Knightsridge primary 5 did storytelling within a local forest, a few minutes walk from the school. This provided an atmospheric and lasting impression on the pupils for the reading of the Scottish Myths they had prepared.
These Stories were created in class and read-out at the forest. The previous week the children had picked three objects from a bag: two magical objects and a character. These were then used to create the stories.
The class from Knightsridge Primary 5 use the local forest to get in the mood for storytelling.
On a very cold and stormy day, Primary 5 pupils use the natural shelter of the local forest to build a fire and then tell stories.
A great day and what better way to introduce Scottish myths.
Riverside Primary 5 pupils are seen in this video traveling from the classroom to the local park alongside the Almond river.
The class is studying castles and they build them with all the features you would expect: ramparts, a great hall and kitchens. However, they discover together, the best castles take advantage of the local landscape and build high or use natural defensive features.
Back in class, the pupils complete a worksheet which explores how trees are like castles: big and strong etc.
