A free Earth Day storytelling event for KS1 and lower KS2, ready for your class straight after lunch.Â
Made for children aged five to nine, from Year 1 up to Year 4, this folk tale follows two brothers who inherit their father’s land. The eldest tricks his way into keeping the lot, and the youngest sets off with only an axe over his shoulder. A kindness to a nesting bird leads him somewhere astonishing, and he takes just what he needs. Then his brother hears about it, and he wants more. Much more.
Told by a professional storyteller and hand illustrated for KS1 and lower KS2, this folk tale opens a gentle way into this year’s Earth Day theme, ‘Food for Our Planetâ„¢’, and gives your class a way into the big questions: how much is enough, who do we share with, and how do we care for the land that feeds us?
Book your free place, sit down for fifteen minutes after lunch with your class, and you’ll come away with ready-made talk for circle time, PSHE or science, all before home time.
