Hi everyone
Just thought I'd post regarding 'The Old Woman and the Red Pumpkin.' This week both our reception classes have been reading the wonderful tale by Betsy Bang. The children absolutely loved the book, after a few readings the children were joining in with the repeated phrases and even used some of the characters in their role play indoors and out, the jackal being the overall favourite character.
We compared the book with No Dinner by Jessica Souhami and the children were able to recognise that although Souhami had kept some characters she had also changed some from the original. As a year group we made a display which the children contributed to and we now find that they are using the display which is above the book corner to sit down and retell the story. All in all we think that this book is great for any reception class and that the children gain alot of enjoyment from such a simple story.
