The children had some ideas on what a hero was so immersing in Traditional stories and
Fairy tales, articals and pictures from the newspaper and listening to our numerous wonderful visitors has enabled the children now to talk more freely about what key competencies these heroes have. We have used Y charts as a class and in groups to let them voice their own opinions on what a hero looks sounds and feels like. We are continually referring to the 7 servants on display not just for inquiry but for any questioning at any time and especially during our" oral language time" when making sure the children are using key words in their questions. Doing this orally appears to be working really well and much easier at this early level, for them to understand. The children were able to choose their heroes quickly of course being their mums, dads, and grandads. those being important in their lives. Again referring to the 7 servants, in pairs the children shared their ideas for questions to ask their hero. 3 main starters were How, What and Why.

I thought it was great that the students understood that 'real humans' in their everyday life, were just as important, or more so, than the fictional heros some children like to idolise. Having looked at the student's projects, its obvious that Mums and Dads were the most popular choices!
