Traditional Tales are very old stories, that have been told and retold for many, many years. These stories were spoken long before they were written down and made into books. They are stories that almost everybody knows. Characters often make very good choices or very unwise choices. They often begin with ‘Once upon a time’ and end with ‘They all lived happily ever after’…’The end’.

Our Talk for Writing text this half term is the traditional tale: ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. We discovered that, even as a class, we know lots of different versions of the story. Often it rests on just how gory an ending we want for the Big Bad Wolf!

We have started to learn the model text. How much of the story imitation can the children recall by looking at the pictures? Please encourage them to include the actions.

Look at our gorgeous drawings of Little Red.
