=**Welcome to**= Fantastic Fairy Tales

During March 2009 a number of schools across New Zealand joined together to share their creativity, their ideas and their writing around the topic of fairy tale characters. Their task was to develop new adventures for fairy tales (and other) characters in ways in which the readers learn new fascinating and interesting things about them especially when they are put them into situations that were never part of the original tales. Each school was be allocated a branch from the original story and they unleashed their own imagination developing their own special 'tail' from there.

** NOTE: since the development of this project the core starting structure has been stripped back so workshop participants can use it to support their own ideas. However the material developed by some of the schools has been retained and can be accessed through the links along the side. Some has been removed at the request of the schools concerned. There were 16 schools in the original project. What a term it was! ** if you have any questions or comments please contact Innes Kennard on innesk@werc.ac.nz I would be happy to set up the same opening structure for a school (or cluster) is required. Let's go out there and have fun. Just think - Shakespeare was at school once.
