We will have fun taking a closer look at some of our most loved Fairy Tales, including much loved traditional tales as well as a modern day Fairy Tale. The children will get to know the characters and relate their lives to their own. We will look at Three of a Kind with the Three Bears, the Three Little Pigs and the Three Billy Goats Gruff. Then we will go into the Woods with Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel and the Gruffalo. We will end our term with the oldest story of all, The Nativity.

Saint Ronan’s is the best decision we ever made for our son. It is the most magical place, and the teaching and facilities are second to none. Most importantly, the kids are extremely happy. We feel very lucky to be part of such a wonderful school.
