More Details

Summary:

Recently the Oxford Storytelling Museum has devised story telling hopscotch for Pegasus Primary, set in a highly deprived part of Oxford. 7 different fairy tales have been stencilled sequentially onto flagstones. Pupils are now encouraged to step onto the squares and relate the relevant part of the fairy tale. Headteacher Gill Hudson believes not only is it hugely popular but it has helped to significantly raise standards in creative writing. Both Class 4 and Class 2 step through key parts of well known fairy stories as part of the school's commitment to the Talk to Write initiative launched in 2008. Judy Clark, the Talk advisor from the National Literacy Trust, explains the importance of talking prior to writing and provides some tips on effective ways of raising pupil attainment in writing at primary level. Following Class 2 storytelling hopscotch, we see teacher Nannette Stormont encouraging her pupils to write, in pairs, their own version of a favourite fairy tale.
