Hans Chrisitan Andersen

This week sees the last part of our current Literacy work on traditional stories by Hans Christian Andersen. Puma class produced some absolutely brilliant endings to the story of The Little Match Girl last week after exploring emotive language and imagery used in the story. Puma class's first debate about the main character's father in the story was very interesting and everyone had some great thoughts and comments to share about him. This week children worked hard on identifying adjectives and descriptive phrases in a large selection of Hans Christian Andersen stories. We read some stories and also compiled lists of different ending types. The final piece of work this week was creating our own adventure story for Hans Christian Andersen's Tin Soldier character. As these stories travel around the world being translated in many different languages, we chose this time to focus on our third explorer who attempted to travel around the world, Amelia Earhart. We had some small group discussions about what might have happened to her over the Pacific Ocean. We traced her route and practised some great mapping skills and grid references. We also chose either Captain Cook or Zheng He and created diagrams to compare their lives and experiences from what we have learnt so far. Great job Pumas!
