RAPUNZEL - BY MADDY

Once upon a time there lived a little a couple and they wanted a child.  One day the wife said, "I want some lettuce form the Witch's garden.  Please can you get me some." The husband said "Yes."  So he did. But when he got a lettuce the Witch said, "Moia-ha-ha!  I've got you now!"  The man said "My wife said to me that she wanted some lettuce from your garden."

"Fine.  Your wife can have as much lettuce as she wants,: said the Witch.  "But when the baby is born, you must give it to me.  Waa-ha-ha!" cackled the Witch and off she went.  The husband didn't really hear what the witch said.  He was worried.  The husband told the wife that she could have as much lettuce as she wanted.

The day the baby was born, the Witch snuck up slowly.  The wife said, "GO!"  but when the couple walked quietly away, the witch flew out of her hiding place and said, "Now you have to give her to me!"

The wife cried.  "Please don't!"  But the Witch already had left.  The wife cried again and again.  The wife cried all day long.  She never stopped crying.

The Witch locked Rapunzel in a tower in the woods.  The Witch visited Rapunzel every night.

One day, a Prince heard Rapunzel heard singing.  He said, "Follow that voice.  Find that girl!"  The men searched the woods.  They could not find the girl.  The Prince heard the singing coming from the tall tower.  He waited all night then the witch came and said, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel.  Let down your hair."  Rapunzel did.  The Witch climbed and climbed and then the big old mean Witch climbed down the big tower.  Then the big mean Witch said, "I will be back at 1pm."

The Prince came and rescued Rapunzel from the tower.  He took Rapunzel back to the Kingdom.  At 1pm the Witch came to the tall tower and said "Rapunzel, Rapunzel.  Let down your hair."  But she was getting married at the Kingdom and they all lived happily ever after.

CINDERELLA STORY - BY AVA T

Ava had been working on this amazing piece of writing of a few weeks now...

Once upon a time there lived three mean sisters and a young girl called Cinderella.  She had to do all the work because her mean sisters told her want to do.  One day they got a letter from the prince to go to the Ball.  They all were excited to go. 
Cinderella said "Can I come?"  but her mean sisters said "No, you can't.  Only us." 
Cinderella cried with sadness.  She wished that she could go. 

Suddenly in a cloud of smoke, a Fairy Godmother came. 
She said, "Did someone say wish?"
Cinderella said, "Who are you?" 
The Fairy Godmother said, "I am your Fairy Godmother, darling." 
"Can you help me?  I want to go to the Ball."  Cinderella asked.
"OK," said the Fairy Godmother.  With a tip of her wand she had a beautiful dress which has light blue sparkles that looked like stars.

No one at the Ball noticed that it was Cinderella.  So she went to the Prince's Ball in a carridge that actually made from a pumpkin.  Meanwhile, she got there just in time for the Prince to decide who he wanted to marry.  The Prince decided he wanted to marry Cinderella.  Cinderella was so happy, but it was midnight.  She ran as fast as she could but when she got to the end of the stairs the magic came off so she ran home. 

Cinderella had left her shoes.  The Prince was so sad that he couldn't even know her name.  So he had an idea.  It was to go to everyone's house and tell them to put on her shoe.  If it fits it would be her.  Then off he went.  When he got to the last house there was Cinderella.  Cinderella put on the shoe and it fitted!  Everyone was happy.  The Prince said, "What is your name?" 
Cinderella said, "My name is Cinderella."  Then the Prince and Cinderella got married and they lived happily ever after.

CINDERELLA - MAKE IT MONDAY

Word must have gotten out!  We are expert problem solvers. We had ANOTHER fairytale character email us today.  Keira read the email out to the kids



Cinderella is tired of her shoes falling off and needs our help to her a pair of shoes.  Cinderella had some pretty strict success criteria that we needed to met.  We were super excited to see what we could make for Cinderella, especially when one of the criteria was that the shoes need to have another use!  What on earth could we do for that?  We WONDER!!!



We brainstormed all our ideas for what we could do!

 .                       

           

Once we had though about what we needed to find out about in EXPLORE, we went through to the other room to get started on our learning!

 . 

               .           



 .                         

Part of being a SELF MANAGER is knowing when you are ready to move onto the next stage in the Learning Process. For us, this is going to our REFLECT CHECKPOINT.  Mrs Kenyon checkpointed us to see if we were ready to move onto the ACT part of our Learning Process.

Once we passed the checkpoint we were able to move through to ACT in the Rainbow Room.  

Look what we came up with!

Royce made Cinderella a hover board.  It's pretty cool!

 .    

Ryla, Ava-Rose and Holly P had a great day making their shoes - lots of pink and strapy shoes today!

       .     .          

  Keira, Charlie and Amelia made their shoes that could also be used as handbags!  Now that is clever.

Lauren and Katie made a strap so Cinderella's shoes will stay on.

Once we had finished making our shoes we needed to REFLECT.  Did our shoes meet the Success Criteria?  Lots of them did.  We hope Cinderella likes them! .             .
