Woodpeckers English – Fairytales

To begin our new unit of Twisted Tales, we have spent the morning looking at Fairy Tales. Initially, we discussed what Fairy Tales are and had a look at some well-known Fairy Tale stories, sharing things that we knew about each one. After this, we started to think about the key features of Fairy Tales and in groups, we made some mind-maps about our thoughts. We thought about their purpose, settings, characters, themes, storylines, plots, story openers and endings. To finish, we took part in a quiz, answering questions about different Fairy Tale stories.
