Autumn 1

04.09.24

This week, the children have been looking at Legends. We have talked a lot about Myths, Legends and Folktales.

Human beings have been telling stories since they first learned to speak. And even before we could speak, we managed to tell stories by drawing and painting pictures on the walls of the caves we lived in.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there lived some great storytellers.

Their stories have been passed down, retold, translated, adapted and, more recently, written down, because everyone loves a good story!

Do some of your favourites include haunting and murder, treasure and battle, wicked deeds and heroic actions?

Beowulf – Royal Armouries

The Anglo-Saxon story of Beowulf is told in three short animations, covering his battles with the monster Grendel and Grendel's mother. Ensure you watch the Beowulf episodes to assess their suitability before sharing with your group.

Beowulf is one of the most important texts in Old English and is believed to date from somewhere between 975 and 1025 - around the time of Alfred the Great. The author is unknown.

The events of the poem are set in Scandanavia. Hrothgar - King of the Danes - builds a mead hall called Heorot but comes under attack from a monster called Grendel. Gredel terrorises the Danes for twelve long years.
