In this week before Halloween we have had our own mini storytelling Festival based on the characters from both Norwegian and Orcadian folktales - trolls and trows! The setting for our stories was Muddisdale and we hope to be able to tell our stories around the campfire in the woods one day.
Everyone collaborated on a group story and told it to the class, including sound effects and voices. Here is one of the stories that was told. We hope you enjoy it.
Meanwhile those pesky trolls and trows are hiding around the school - can you spot them?
We will share our poems in the comments below. Please click on 'comments' and have a look.
And, if you are in school keep your eyes peeled for the P5M troll - he is very well camouflaged...
