Gruffalo Retelling with Makaton

Grade 9 and kindergarten students sitting in a circle on a blue carpet in a kindergarten classroom.

In their pastoral lessons, the Grade 9 students recently prepared a story for the Kindergarten and Grade 1 classes. 

They told the story of The Gruffalo using “Makaton”. Makaton is a unique language programme that uses symbols, signs and speech to enable people to communicate.

This activity enabled Grade 9 students to work on adaptation and improvisation skills, empathy and communication skills. You can see some of their performances below.
