The Hungry Grumpy Mongoose

The Reception children  enjoyed their visit from Charlie the Storyteller. Everyone listened well, participated with enthusiasm and there were lots of singing and laughter. 

The session was based around the story of the hungry, grumpy, moaning Mongoose, who wanted to catch different coloured frogs to eat their feet.  He managed to catch lots of frogs, squashing and stuffing them into his hole. Luckily  the clever little frogs escaped. The children joined in with a selection of actions, sounds and songs as they joined in with the storytelling. 

This storytelling workshop links in with our topic, Traditional Tales. The children have been retelling familiar stories, and will be creating alternative endings as well as making up their own stories this term.
