Storytelling Week

Lesson: EYFS

Class: Class 1 Year: 2017 - 2018

In Reception we have been enjoying reading and creating stories in many different ways. We have used story stones, maps and characters, puppets and we are now writing our own stories based on our story boards. 

We have also started a new technique called 'Helicopter Stories' where the children dictate their story as an adult writes it down; we then come together as a class and the children take it in turns to act out their own stories. It's proving very popular and it is really helping the children to understand the way stories are composed, how to expand the content and how to make them more exciting. 

It has been such a joy seeing the children develop their ideas and create their stories from scratch. I am looking forward to sharing the final stories with you next week.
