Our First Fairy Tale.

This term we have begun our study of narratives and we are looking at their structure and what is involved in writing a fairy tale.  Before we write our own, we are doing lots of collaborative work and working on our own class fairy tale together.  This is our first attempt.  We hope you like it!

Leo the elf and his adventures in the magical forest.

By 2H

Once upon a time there lived an elf called Leo and his favourite colour was red.  He lived in a magic forest.

One day, Leo went for a walk and met his friend Ben, the troll.  Ben’s favourite colour was green.  Ben also liked to smash things with his hands.

On their walk they came to a castle and they saw the mean and greedy giant.  The giant was busy counting his gold coins.  Leo and Ben were being very noisy and they disturbed the greedy giant.

The giant got very angry when he was disturbed from his counting.  When he saw Leo and Ben he remembered how Ben had smashed the window of the castle last week. The giant had warned them to never come back to his castle or there would be trouble! He caught them and threw them into his dungeon.

Leo was able to use elf magic to shrink himself.  He climbed through the bars of the dungeon and found the key.  He unlocked the bars and let Ben out. 

Leo tricked the giant by creating a big pot of gold coins to lure the greedy giant into the dungeon.  When he was behind the bars they locked him in.  Ben smashed the key into little pieces and they threw the tiny pieces into the ocean where a shark ate the pieces.

They quickly ran away back to the magic forest and they lived happily ever after with no giant to bother them anymore.
