LC: Orally retell a folk tale.

 

Let's rehearse our story again and add actions for the rest of it.

 

The Green Child

 

A very long time ago in a place called Suffolk in England a strange thing happened.

 

A man called Clack was tending to his garden on a Friday morning when he spotted a face peering up at him in his beloved cabbage patch.  The face smiled and winked at him but didn’t say anything.

 

When Clack pulled back the cabbage leaves, he realised it was a small child. It wasn’t any small child because he was green!  He had green hair, green eyes, green cheeks, green arms and legs and green clothes.

 

Clack picked up the small green child and took him inside because he looked hungry.  Clack opened his fridge and took out some jam and some green grapes.  The small child only wanted to eat the grapes. 

 

Clack looked in his cupboard to find some more food.  He took out some bread and some green peas.  The small child gobbled up the green peas very quickly and then Clack realised he would only eat green food.

 

After a while, everything in the house started turning green. The floor turned green, the windows turned green and even the letter box turned green.

 

Clack wondered what to do.  He asked his neighbour. 

 

“ What should I do?” he asked Geraldine who lived next door.

“ Try feeding him different foods which are different colours,” said Geraldine.

 

Clack found lots of yellow foods including bananas, cheese, pineapples and rice.   He made a menu:

 

Menu Mains                  Dessert cheese                            bananas sweetcorn                       pineapple yellow peppers                lemons egg yolks                         custard

 

The green child was excited and gobbled up all of the yellow foods.   Suddenly, his skin started to turn yellow.

 

“I like being a yellow colour,” said the yellow child.  He smiled and gobbled up more cheese!
