We have been learning the story of the Little Red Hen. We practised using actions to help us retell the story.

Once upon a time there was a little red hen who lived on a farm.

Early one morning she woke up and went outside.

There she found some corn.

“Who will help me plant the corn?” said the little red hen.

“Not I,” said the bull.

“Not I,” said the cat.

“Not I,” said the rat.

“I’ll do it myself,” said the little red hen.

“Who will help me grind the corn?” said the little red hen.

“Not I,” said the bull.

“Not I,” said the cat.

“Not I,” said the rat.

“I’ll do it myself,” said the little red hen.

“Who will help me bake the bread?” said the little red hen.

“Not I,” said the bull.

Not I,” said the cat.

“Not I,” said the rat.

“I’ll do it myself,” said the little red hen.

“Who will help me eat the bread?” said the little red hen.

“I will,” said the bull.

“I will,” said the cat.

“I will,” said the rat.

“Oh no you won’t. I’ll eat it myself,” said the little red hen – and so she did!
