Folktales

This half term, Reception will be submerged in a diverse range of folktales, including fairy tales and fables. Children will broaden their knowledge of these tales and the moral stories attached to them. These stories will act as a vehicle, leading down pathways of learning opportunities within the prime and specific areas of learning.
