Today Tom Muir came in to tell us some traditional folktales from Orkney, Shetland, Iceland and Norway about trolls and trows and all kinds of magical creatures. We listened carefully and really enjoyed the afternoon. After a discussion about how to make stories interesting to listen to we think we are ready to try to create and tell stories of our own. We will share them with you and our friends in New Zealand!
Mrs. Todd and the Roadrunners,
ReplyDeleteHello we are in second grade in Monroe, North Carolina, USA. We have 10 more days of school. We are also studying about folk tales, fairy tales in our reading workshop. We are writing our own fairy tale. Have you written fairy tales? What are some elements of a fairy tale/folk tale?
Hi Mrs Todd and the Roadrunners, Today we had our storytelling workshop and created our own stories to tell. They had to have a trow or a troll. We hope that we can tell our stories to Tom when he comes back. We are not writing them down but two will be recorded and they will be on P5TV when they are ready - that might not be until next week - you may have finished school by then! We are also going to invite the Primary 2 classes (age 6) to come and hear our stories being told on a day out later this term.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment, its nice to know other schools are following some of the things we are doing!
It was very enjoyable and very fun listening to Tom Muir tell our class about all the fun stories and it was fun because we got to create our own ones aswell.

I can't wait to hear your stories. I think trolls are kinda ugly but pretty cool otherwise!Caroline(Laura's mum)
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you are all really looking forward to Tom coming in again tomorrow. I am really looking forward to hearing your stories.
