The theme
for our Rhyme Time Day gave children – from pre-nursery to grade 1 - the perfect
opportunity to explore the world of fairy tales. Through short snippets of nine
stories, they explored what a fairy tale is, how they evolve, the varying
emotions in each story, the variety of ways they can be presented and even how
they can be retold with a twist.
From songs,
to dances, drama and simple retelling, this Rhyme Time Day gave our little ones
a chance to discover stage fright and over come it too – and so many
self-confident kids one has rarely seen. Each looked the part too in their numerous
wonderful costumes.
Rehearsing
and working together they also discovered the importance of being a team and
later, sharing the names of their favourite fairy tales with each other to
write their own short stories, they further added grist to their creative mill.
