Once upon a time there lived a little girl who always wore a bright red cape with a hood.  She was known as Little Red Riding Hood.  She lived with her mother in a cottage near the woods, and on the other side of the woods lived her grandmother.  Just then a wolf stepped out from behind a tree.  “Good day, my dear,” he said, “And where are you going?”

[together] I’m going to visit my sick grandmother on the other side of the woods.

From that day on grandmother was much more careful about who she invited in, and you can be sure that Little Red Riding Hood always did stay on the path.  

Today we’re going to share the story of Red Riding Hood, but now I would like you to help me read the story, and as you know you can be a character.  So we have got some characters.  Who can tell me the characters in the story of Red Riding Hood?  Roma, can you tell me one character?

Red Riding Hood?

Red Riding Hood.  Can you tell me a character O May He?  Red Riding Hood?

A wolf.

The wolf.  

Just then, a wolf stepped out from behind a tree.  O May He?

“Good dear…”

Day.

“…day, my dear.”

He said.

“And where are you going?”

The wolf knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

Called Grandmother.

“It me, Little Red Riding Hood.”

And said the wolf in a little voice, “I’ve…”

“I come to visit you.”

Today we’re going to talk about true and false again, and like we did last week with Jack and the Beanstalk, you’re going to have some…

Jack and the Bean-…

Jack and the Beanstalk, you’re going to have some statements about Red Riding Hood…

Hood, about my…

…exactly the same as last time.  This time you’re going to put them down and paste them onto your own sheet which says ‘true’ and ‘false’.  Who can tell me what…?

What is Goldilocks [overtalking]?

…’true’ mean?  What does ‘true’ mean?  Erica?  

[Mandarin, mandarin], stop [overtalking]…

Shh, shh, shh.  Just a sec darling.

That mean, this really you did it.

It’s something that is real, it’s true:  something that is real.  What about ‘false’?

False is the wolf is not a grandma.

Oh, so you’re giving me a false statement about the wolf?  Can you give me a false statement about me?  Can you give me…?

Yeah, Miss Biviano, not here.

That is a false statement because I am here.  Can you read your statement, O May He?  Sitting up nicely please, can you read your statement?  

Goldilocks…

Not Goldilocks.

Grandma…

It starts with ‘G’, doesn’t it?  But it’s ‘Grandma’.

Grandma. 

Shh, shh, shh.

Grandma…

Killed.

…killed the wolf.  Not true.

Not true, no.  No, what happened to Grandma?

Grandma is in the cupboard.

Yes, she went into the cupboard.  O May He, I’m going to ask you to read for me two true statements.

Red Riding Hood said, “Grandma, what big ears you have.”  

Lovely.  That one says, “What big eyes…

[together] “…you have.”  

Good girl.   And another one?

“Red Riding Hood, she a little girl.”  Good.

[together] “Red Riding Hood was…”

“…a little girl.”

Lovely.  Thank you.  And two false statements, can you read two false statements?

“Red Riding Hood was a boy.”

Lovely, and one more.

“The wolf…

“…dressed…”

“…dressed up like the woodcutter.”  Not…

Not true?  No, a false statement.  Thank you O May He.

Red Riding Hood Mum…

Do you want to read another one?  Do you want to read this one?  No?

[together] “Red Riding Hood’s…”

“…Mum…”

“…told…”

“…told her to visit your aunt, no, uncle.”

“…visit her uncle.”

“…uncle.”  Not true.

Not true.  Thank you very much O May He.  Good girl.

I’m going.
