Notes from York Road

These are my notes from York Road Primary School

This is the analysis of my notes from York Road Primary School

Research for children

Independence from family - three little pigs are moving out
Friendship is important - Little Red and Boy are friends even though he lied
Develop confidence - talk about importance of confidence in play - have to be confident to make friends

Thinking about the future - talk about what the little pigs want to do - it's important for children to know that actions have consequences
Liked by friends - Boy lied to feel accepted by the village, kids lie to be accepted in their friendship groups - they feel he can relate to them

Concern for others - everyone is concerned for the wolf

Health & safety - road and water safety could be talked about in the play

Limit access to food - kids won't like that, we should keep the sweets - teach them that body image doesn't matter

Friendships are important - Little Red sticks by Boy even though he lied - teach kids it's important to stand by their friends





Other POVs more clearly - Red understands why Boy lies
Increased attention span - play can last longer - especially if we get them involved


Right and wrong - we can incorporate lessons - it was wrong for boy to lie

Respect - Boy could save the day and earn the villagers' respect - teach children that respect should be earned

Puberty - could lead to a funny sketch
Do things as a family - three little pigs stand together - teach kids that family is very important, whereas friends come and go
