In this topic, the children will step into the magical world of fairy tales, traditional tales and nursery rhymes.

Through stories, role play and imaginative play, they will explore different characters and settings, retell familiar tales and create stories of their own. We will also learn about the signs of spring and explore new life as we observe changes in the natural world around us.

Throughout the topic, the children will develop their speaking, listening, creativity and storytelling skills while enjoying a range of exciting story-based experiences.
