(This year we have a combined group of Year 3 and Year 4)

As our knowledge of Hans Christian Andersen increased, we were able to branch out and explore in more detail the various threads which make up the project. We looked at Scandinavia from a geographical point, specifically studying maps. This led to more investigation, where the children learned about continents and countries, including the UK and Europe.

We have been looking at ways to write stories. Year 3 also began to adapt their own version of The Princess and the Pea in a book of their own. As a guide, they were given headings for each chapter and the children have retold the beginning of this story using their own language and creative ideas. Each page was then decorated with colourful designs.
