The Enormous Turnip - Kindersite/ BBC

Click on the picture to read the story.
This is one of my favourite classic stories. It fitted in well with our elements theme, 'Earth' because we have been talking about all the things that you would find in and under the ground. What could be better than a story about people helping each other when your country is going through the worse bush fire season in recorded history. How appropriate that the little robin is able to do his bit too and that, of course made all the difference. We hope you enjoy it too!

A Wombat Might - Kindersite

Things in this story are not as they would appear from the point of view of someone on the ground. Is the tree a wishing tree or is a different perspective of the event required? This is a great story which made the children laugh and they had fun using the interactive features.
