The children were acting out the story of 'We're Going on a Bear hunt'. They were using the pictures to retell the story using actions.
Michael Rosen performs We're Going on a Bear Hunt
The children were introduced to Michael Rosen's performance of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. We discussed the actions, facial expressions, gestures and voice expression that he uses to retell the story orally.
First the children shared their recommendations about the story by creating a book review. They were able to discuss if they liked ? disliked? favourite part? characters? improvements needed? and give reasons for their choice.
Our Book Reviews
Next we created a story map. The children were able to decide on the actions needed in order for them to learn the language pattern in the story and orally rehearse and learn the story. They used Michael Rosen's version as a stimulus to inspire them to improve upon their facial expressions, voice, gesture and actions, when retelling the story.
Our Story Map
The children are growing in confidence and independence in creating their own story maps. They were able to work collaboratively with a partner, they were then able to read their story map and re tell the story.
We enjoy sharing ideas and working together!
Have a look at some of our story maps!
