U6 – Week of Fairy Tales

Whether as a short section in the morning circle, or as a shared experience in the reading corner, reading or telling fairy tales as well as immersing yourself in fantastic worlds was part of everyday life for the U6 area this week. Existential questions of living together in society were addressed as well as many fantastic characters and places that initially have little or nothing to do with reality.
With the help of storybooks, hand puppets and the Kamishibai, the teachers took the children into a new world teeming with princesses and princes, queens and kings, witches, dwarfs and magicians.
The children took the opportunity to slip into some fairy tale costumes themselves in order to experience these magical stories for themselves. The highlight of this week was a tempting-looking gingerbread house, just like the witch in Hansel and Gretel owned.
