Fairy Tale Adventures

Are you ready to step into a world of magic and wonder in Block 5?

I'm so excited to explore the enchanting realm of fairy tales with you in our Fairy Tale Adventures Challenge!

I’m 'wand-erfully' sure you're going to love it!

Pawprint badges are super fun and provide your children with an opportunity to work towards an end goal. They are a lovely creative set of cross-curricular lessons based around a theme. Your child will work through the challenges and earn the badge virtually.

A 'Fairy Tale Adventures' badge can be purchased on the Pawprint website if your child wants to collect them, but this is not a requirement.

Each week, we will embark on a new adventure. The activities will be as follows:

Week 1 – Introduction – What are fairy tales, and where did they come from? We’ll explore the origins of these magical stories and uncover their hidden lessons. At the end of the session we will make our own fairy tale scrolls.

Week 2 – Craft – The Gingerbread Man – We’ll be sewing our very own felt finger puppet of the Gingerbread Man—just make sure he doesn’t run away!

Week 3 – Food – The Three Billy Goats Gruff – This week, we’ll be making a delicious goat’s cheese and caramelised onion baguette bridge. Will it be strong enough to hold up against the hungry troll?

Week 4 – Games – We’ll be diving into fun fairy tale games, such as creating our own fairy tale characters, generating magical names, and testing our knowledge with a fairy tale quiz!

Week 5 – Other – We’ll explore alternative versions of The Three Little Pigs and then have a go at rewriting another classic fairy tale with our own unique twist! We will also plant our own beans in this lesson.

I’m 'spell-bound' with excitement and can't wait to see you all again soon!
