ABSTRACT

Sit in a circle. Negotiate the drama rules, what is expected and how we work. What kind of stories do we tell children in the nursery or first class? How do we make them interesting?

1 OoR collective storytelling

Demonstrate changing nursery rhymes into narrative and using traditional stories. In a collective form tell the story of a nursery rhyme in narrative form: There was once a girl called Mary and she was given for her birthday a very special present, a little lamb. She cared for the lamb and everywhere she went the lamb followed her… even into school!
