Nature Myths

Over the past couple of weeks room 4 have been writing myths about nature. We began by exploring a variety of different myths from around the world about bees. We then used a 'tale untangler' created by Raymond Huber to determine the purpose of the bees myths e.g. if they were folktales, myths or legends. We talked about the importance of the cultural messages that myths often convey.  

We then set about writing our own myths with the purpose of explaining something about nature e.g. how the lion got its mane.

After completing their myths room 4 published them on large puzzle pieces. We have assembled them into a large nature myth puzzle on the wall in room 4, come in and check it out.
