National Storytelling Week - The Gingerbread Man

This week in Beatlie we have been enjoying taking part in National Storytelling Week. Storytelling is a huge part of what we do throughout our week and pupils experience stories regularly through songs, music, dance, drama, massage, play and sensory experiences. Our chosen school story was The Gingerbread Man and there have been lots of gingerbread themed activities taking place some of which you can see below. Each class also recreated a part of the story which we have put together to make our very own Gingerbread Man storyboard. Lammermuir started off our story by creating a beautiful cottage by the river which was then followed by Hopetoun’s gorgeous garden. Lomond made the pinkest pig with the sparkliest nose and Ochiltree made our beautiful horse in a field. Pentland used milk cartons to create the cow in a field and Duntarvie ended our story with the fox and beautiful sensory river (which we’re hoping won’t burst!) Glendevon had fun making the little old lady, little old man and the gingerbread man.

We hope you enjoy seeing some of the activities we’ve been taking part in this week and we’re sure you’ll love our fantastic display!
