​

​

Outcomes:
Children will:

• Explore the themes and structure of a traditional story.
   

• Contribute their own ideas to shape its structure, content and characters.
   

• Practice problem solving in role from within the story.

“It helped a class who struggles through the year with ideas and imaginative thought to engage with story writing. There were at least 8 children who are usually so quiet but they came alive and joined in!” Year 6 Teacher, Lyndon Green Junior School.
