Stars of the week: Ella & Alexander
This week in Class 4, the children have been learning about fables. They explored how fables tell a story to teach a lesson, the types of characters they include, and the language they use. Some well-known fables they looked at include ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’, ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’, and ‘The North Wind and the Sun’.
The children read a range of fables and used their comprehension skills to interpret the morals behind each story. In addition, the class worked on using speech punctuation correctly, based on the fable ‘The Wolf and the Lamb’. They continued the story by writing what the characters might say to one another.
