Once Upon a Time
In the Once Upon a Time project, your child will be introduced to the wonderful world of stories. During the project, the children will listen to a range of traditional tales and have the chance to act out the stories. Children will also listen to alternative contemporary stories to see different viewpoints from the characters. Making and using props and masks to create their own stories will be a key part of the storytelling process.
Supporting your child at home:
- Read traditional stories and fairy tales to your child.
- Visit your local library and choose picture books to share.
- Talk about the characters in stories and what they like or dislike about them.
- Talk about how the characters in stories behave and what they could do differently.
