Creating New Stories (Literacy)

Using features from the traditional tale, The Three Little Pigs we created a new class story called the Three Tiny Fish. The children innovated the story buy changing the characters and key features.

In our story the first fish builds his house out of seaweed, the second fish built his house from shells and the third fish built a strong house from rocks.  Each house was visited by the huge, scary shark!  He tried to get in but the fish said, 'Not by the scales on my finny fin fin.'  But he swished and he swashed and he knocked down the first two houses. Fortunately he couldn't knock down the third house, so the fish lived happily ever after.  

The children created their own stories by changing the characters and the materials used for the houses.  They had some brilliant ideas.
