Over the last few weeks F2 have been learning the story of ‘The Three Billy Goat’s Gruff!’ We have loved acting out the story and performing it to each other using our talk for writing signifiers! We are now very familiar with how traditional tales start and end and some of the vocabulary used! We have created some amazing story maps, wanted posters and sentence strips! We also had a visit from the troll himself and did some fabulous hot seating, asking lots of interesting questions!

This week (because we know the story so well!) we decided to mix it up a bit and change some parts of the story! Mrs Buss used our tales toolkit basket to help us and we had so much fun playing with different characters and different problems! In the end we decided to change the three goats to pigs and change the problem of a troll to a… dragon! The children loved performing the story again, using the same vocabulary but with different characters! We have created some amazing writing from this and it has inspired us in our play to make up our own versions!!!
