Year 1 dressed up as their favourite storybook characters for our Traditional Tales Day yesterday. Teachers had organised a fun-filled programme to celebrate the enduring power of fairytales and the importance of imagination. Craft activities included designing Rapunzel's tower (complete with tumbling hair braid), crafting a magical mirror and re-creating Cinderella's golden carriage. The children also transformed empty shoeboxes into detailed fairytale dioramas, crafting scenes from stories of their choice. It was lovely to see them proudly sharing their miniature worlds with one another. Music and drama teacher, Mrs Davies, also visited us for a special drama workshop in which the children sang songs and created 'freeze frame' scenes to retell the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Well done, Year 1! #preprep #education #creativecurriculum #cherishingchildhood #fairytales
