Thursday

 To activate prior knowledge.

To listen to and discuss a range of texts.

For the next few weeks, we will be listening to, discussing and reading lots of traditional tales. These are stories that have been told and re-told many times, so almost everyone knows them.

Look at the picture above for clues. Talk with your talking partner.

Can you name any traditional tales?

Do you know the names of any of the characters?

Are you familiar with any language from the stories?

(Hint: Run, run, as fast as you can... Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum!)

Let's read one of our traditional stories together.
