Our core story in Term 5 was The Enormous Turnip. We shared the story in lots of different ways, and learned to retell it using our story map. As part of our learning we wanted to experience what it is like to try and move something really big and heavy.
We found some really big logs in the garden which we wanted to move. We looked at the story book, which gave us lots of ideas for different methods we could try and decided to attach a rope and pull. It was far too heavy for 1 or even 2 people to pull, so more friends came to join in, just like in the story.
With lots of determination, trial and error and negotiation we worked as a team and success! We managed to pull the log across the garden, and ended up tired but very pleased with our achievements- and wanted to do it all over again!
