Little Tails of the Unexpected exploits stories to the full. It introduces language through 4 traditional stories, each with a twist in the tail! Little Red Riding Hood is a black belt in karate, Cinderella turns into a pumpkin, The Beast likes devouring live crunchy spiders and the Frog Prince is a boring old sausage!
Cross curricular activities include putting on a play for Drama, joining Cinderella in a P.E lesson, discussing the moral outcome of the Frog Prince story, analysing the Beast's diet and joining Little Red Riding Hood for a walk in the forest.
