This week Year three have been busy learning and exploring their first narrative of the year – Theseus and the Minotaur.
This is an ancient Greek myth and links perfectly with our current topic – Gods and Mortals. It is a conquering the monster tale and is split into five clear parts:
- Opening Introduce the main character and all is well.
- Build up A monster appears and causes problems.
- Problem The monster is difficult to defeat.
- Resolution The main character defeats the monster.
- Ending All is well again and the main character gets a reward.
This has allowed Year 3 to learn the story by putting actions to the key parts and then retold in the correct order by following a story map. Click on the link below to see our story map
After putting actions to our story, Year 3 explored the characters further through drama. Hot seating, freeze frames and spot lighting really helped Year 3 understand more about the characters.
