It’s time for a celebration of story and legend – this week our focus will be on stories from around the world, the grand finale of our topic ‘Once Upon a Time’ before a week’s break for half term. Well done on all of your amazing learning!
Group Learning: This week we shall be reading a range of stories exploring the concept of ‘morals’ or ‘what the story is trying to tell us about’. We begin with “Blow Your Nose Big Bad Wolf” By Steve Smallman. We have also assigned for you an audiobook ‘Tell Me a Story 2: Animal Magic’ on GetEpic which will share some fantastic fairytales from far away places for you to enjoy.
