Product Description
Build learning that lasts with Discovery Stones – The Three Little Pigs! These super stones have been designed by Hope Education to bring a traditional tale to life, strengthening pupil’s storytelling skills whilst promoting a love of literacy within your classroom.
This set of Discovery Stones is complete with 16 precious pebbles, each of which is illustrated with a key character or element from the text, such as a house made of straw, a house made of sticks, a house made of bricks, and of course, the Big Bad Wolf! Children will love using these tactile stones to explore the events of the story whilst embodying the different emotions of each character. This resource is the perfect accompaniment to the teaching on The Three Little Pigs throughout EYFS or Key Stage 1, familiarising children with a classic traditional tale whilst encouraging them to retell the story again and again.
What’s in the Box?
- 16 x pebbles depicting story characters and elements (3 x Little Pigs, the Big Bad Wolf, some straw, some sticks, some bricks, 8 x houses made of different materials throughout different stages of the story, and a boiling cauldron)
- 2 x helpful information cards, including key vocabulary and a visual story map
- 1 x cylindrical cardboard storage tube
- Supports you in creating a culture of oracy and storytelling within your classroom. The tactile and visual nature of this resource will enable many more pupils to engage with and access the tale.
- These Discovery Stones are a wonderful way to improve writing outcomes across your class. When pupils understand and recall a text, they will more confidently and independently be able to use it as a basis to explore their own story ideas.
- Ethically and sustainably sourced as well as durable and long-lasting. The pebbles can be scattered in a water or sand area and even used outdoors, promoting language development across your classroom.
- Use to enrich teaching on a Three Little Pigs English unit in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2. These Discovery Stones are sure to enhance children’s writing whilst fulfilling the Key Stage 1 National Curriculum objective of reading and retelling traditional tales.
- A fantastic addition to continuous provision across the EYFS or Key Stage 1. These special stones will be right at home in a Three Little Pigs based small world, building pupil’s fine motor skills in the process.
- Use to support individual pupils or groups of children who have additional learning needs in the areas of speech and language or working memory. Discovery Stones can provide pupils with further opportunities to practise verbal retelling and text sequencing.
