The Story of 'R'


Once, there was a boy named Robyn who liked to play by the river beside his house. On one such day, he saw a tree full of ripe, red, raspberries across the river. He decided to get on his row boat and fill up his basket with them. Hopefully, tonight he can have raspberry cake for dessert. So off Robyn went and as he rowed he sang. ( Sing 'Row,row, your boat)

The raspberries were really ripe and red as he thought and he was soon busy filling up his basket. However, the sky started to turn grey and Robyn quickly put on his raincoat and dashed to his row boat with his basketful of raspberries.

In the middle of his journey across the river, the rain started pouring. Sing:
" Row, row, row dear boat;
Get me 'cross the river,
I shall have my raspberry cake,
before the moon comes over"

He soon reached the other side of the river and knocked on his door. His mother opened
and was delighted to see the basket of raspberries. That night, Robyn relished his dessert
or raspberry cake.

I was thinking of this approach... Letter of the Week sort of thing. I am not doing anything with Bear till next year (Jan 09). How different from my early learning style with Ms M :)
