El Caminante – a whole school experience

El Caminante – a whole school experience

The whole school have been studying the story of El Caminante, the story of a travelling tightrope walker in Spain.

The children have been practising walking on tightropes, collaging birds and making bunting. as well as acting out the story, building the tightrope from the story in small-world settings, balancing on ‘tightropes’ in the hall and are working on retelling the story in a sequence of pictures and are developing our writing skills by working towards writing a diary entry. Up in Year 5/6 they have been bringing the story to life through acting, freeze frames and hot-seating while developing understanding of the story and using reported speech to draft and publish our own exciting newspaper reports. It’s been a lovely group project that every one has got behind.
