The children have enjoyed our unit 'Listen Up' immensely and even asked if we could continue learning about folktales to the end of the year. This week our travels took us to Ireland and Greece. We read different versions of 'How the turtle lost its shell' and each story elicited new perspectives on the story and its characters. We have been exploring the meaning of the word entertaining and that gestures, facial expressions, voice, and props can make a story entertaining. The children have been busy planning and practising for their performances !
