Habits of Mind - Thinking Flexibly - Twisted Fairy Tales.


As part of our Habits of Mind studies we have been writing some 'Twisted Fairy Tales'
They have helped us to think flexibly. (Look as things another way - Consider different options.)

I hope you enjoy reading them.

    Jack and the Beanstalk!!

    Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack.
    He went to the market to sell his family's cow for seeds to grow an apple tree.The next day Jack went to the garden.The seeds had not grown.
    This went on for a week and then Jack finally said to his mother"I am going to dig where I planted the seeds and see whats wrong with them."So Jack did as he said and dug up the soil but he soon found there are no seeds.
    So Jack hunted round the garden but he could not find them.That night Jack wet to bed worried but in the morning he forgot about it.
    He had breakfast and went to school.But when he came home he remembered again.After dinner Jack hunted round the garden.Suddenly he came across a beanstalk.He ran inside to tell his mother.She was in shock and fainted!After Jack helped his mother he went to climb the beanstalk.When he reached the top a giant was sitting there.He asked Jack if he and his mother wanted to live with him because the giant was lonely.Jack ran down the beanstalk and asked his mother.She said YES PLEASE and they lived happily ever after.

  2. Hi Kea class this is my twisted fairy tale:

    The Three little pigs written with an alternative ending.


    Once upon a time there were three little pigs and one day the three pigs said to their mum, "we are old enough and would like to go live by ourselves" and their mum agreed. So the three little pigs set off. The first pig went and built a house out of hay/straw, the wolf came and said "oh pig, please let me in or else I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!"and the wolf did. The first pig went to the second pigs house which was made out of matchsticks and the wolf came and said "oh pigs, please let me in or else I'll light your house down!" and the wolf did. So the first pig and the second pig went to the third pigs’ house which was made out of bricks but just as the third pig installs the lock for the door the wolf climbs up to the roof and down the chimney (he didn’t bother shouting, he was out of breath). The pigs weren’t ready and still didn’t realise the wolf was creeping up against them. The wolf goes for his chance and grabs the third pig but the third pig had wet concrete on him and was slippery so the pigs ran out of the house and locked the wolf in. The wolf rubbed his face but just then the concrete dried. Now he had his hands stuck to his face! Now he couldn’t see, the wolf ran everywhere and crashed in to the bricks and the house collapsed… “Seems like blowing works for us” said the three little pigs who were outside and thought they had blown the house down… (They did not blow it down, it was the wolf that collapsed into the bricks and made the house fall down)

  3. LITLLE RED RIDING HOOD

    When Little Red Riding Hood gets closer to the Wolf Little Red hits the Wolf (because she knows it’s the wolf.)

    Then Little Red asks for her grandma back so she can give her grandma her cakes. Then grandma shoots the Wolf with the gun she used in the army and the wolf dies.

    Grandma enjoys her cakes and Little Red Riding Hood stays for the night and they live happily ever after.
    THE END
