The children enjoyed this familiar traditional tale and loved joining in with the story, remembering the repeated refrains.  They used masks to re-enact the story using different voices for each character.

They all tasted porridge and recorded if they liked it or not using a pictogram in small groups. Most of the children had a try and liked it, even wanting seconds.
