The Forest is Your Home and Other Gnome Tales

Children in the North Room sewed gnomes, created habitats and wrote stories about them as an extension of the conifer study.  Below are some of the stories.

The Forest is Your Home
By Anya
The forest is my home.
Lo loooo lo lo lo lo lo loooooooo.
You are my gnome.  Dad gnome and little gnome and baby gnome.  They are a happy family.  All was happy in the forest but one day a fox came and wrecked their home.  Oh what were they to do?  So they ran and ran and ran.  Suddenly a house appeared, well a log.  For them they were happy. 
But then a troll!  Oh no!  They were all running around in the forest and cutting down trees.  Then the little one had an idea.  What they needed were a pine cone, a rubber band and a stick.  They started making a sling shot and throwing them at the troll until he ran away.
They found there home and they were happy.

The Gnome Family
By Chloe
One day a gnome family went for a walk.  Along the way they saw their friend Asia. 
“Hi Asia”, Sage said.  “Let’s go to the park”.
“OK, Sage”, Asia said.  “Let’s go”.
“Ahhhhhhh, it’s a troll!” Allie said.
A bear came and chased the troll away.

The Woodcutter’s House

Once upon a time there was a woodcutter gnome.  One day, he was out cutting down a tree in the forest.  When the tree fell down it hit his house and half of his house fell down.  He went to the shop and he bought pieces of wood to fix his house.  Half of his house was made of stone and half of his house was made of wood.
