All the children from all the classes enjoyed your visit . These are from Year 2. Plus.... we even made you part of our worship the following week and we also did a "drunken sailor dance" based on yours.
Mrs. Hatton

I enjoy reading stories and so do the children but last Tuesday we had a visit from Graham who is a storyteller and we have discussed how a storyteller is different from a story reader. Here are some of our ideas:

Angus: A storyteller makes up his own stories as he goes along.
Eneline: A storyteller might bring in objects that give the children ideas.
Daniel: A storyteller acts out stories.
Thomas: A storyteller asks you what kind of stories you like.
Jeremy: Graham asked us what kind of stories we liked and we said:
Thomas : Funny
Amanda : Scary
Abigail : Curious
Bettina :Gruesome
Ryan :Like the Bull
Joshua :Action
Samuel :Vampires
Angus: Pirates
Joshuua: Frankenstein and Murder
Sarah: A shipwreck
James: Poke'mon
Hannah: The Titanic
And you thought the children liked happy fairy stories.
Then what did Graham do?
Hannah: He included what we said in the story.
Thomas: The pirate who had a squeaky voice was funny.
Amanda: It was scary when the Pirate made Jack walk the plank.
Abigail: It was curious how Blackbeard kept disappearing.
Bettina: Mrs. Hatton thought the skeleton was gruesome.
Joshua: There was a lot of action and fighting.
Samuel: There were vampire bats in it.
Angus: It was a whole story about pirates.
Joshua: There was no Frankenstein but the pirates and Blackbeard were murdered.
Sarah: Jack was shipwrecked.
James: Mrs. Hatton said, "No Poke'mon!" and Graham said he did not do Poke'mon but he did have a cat of nine tails in it and Nine tails is a Poke'mon.
Hannah: Graham thought I said "romance" but I meant the ship sinking! The class said,
"Ugh"! to romance but Graham put a bit in at the end just for Mrs. Hatton.
Ciaran: The Skeleton poked Jack in the bottom.
So what did Graham include?
Jenefer: He gave us surprises like when he fired the cannon.
Georgia: He made laugh when he pretended to be surf boarding.
Corel and Emilie: He made us laugh when he wiggled the little skeleton on the string at the end.
Andy: He gave us historical information. He told us about the Jolly Roger.
Ciaran: He included Music.
Thomas: We had to dance.
