You should spend at least 30 minutes every evening using the knowledge organiser to complete a learning homework. You should record the subject or subjects on the learning homework page and show this to your form tutor on a weekly basis.

Folklore refers to the tales people tell – folk stories, fairy tales, tall tales, and even urban legends. Folklore is typically passed down by word of mouth, rather than being written in books (although sometimes people write down collections of folklore in order to preserve the stories of a particular community). Folklore has no specific author – it just emerges from the culture and is carried forward by constant retelling. Folklore (etymology) Folk, old English folc - common people, nation, tribe, relating to the people Lore, old English lar - learning, what is taught, knowledge, instruction BRITISH FOLKLORE Main folklore characters we will be studying: Barghest - a monstrous dog, with huge teeth and claws, that appears only at night. It was believed that those who saw one clearly would die soon afterwards. Green Man - the Green Man is mainly associated with the symbol of rebirth, representing the cycle of growth each spring. Some say he is the ancient guardian of the forest. Grindylow - a Grindylow is a pale green water demon that lives in the weed beds at the bottom of lakes in Britain. The creature is described as humanoid in shape, with long arms, long, brittle fingers, sharp little horns and small green teeth. The Grindylow is said to use its long arms to grab people who venture too near the edge of ponds and marshes, pull them into the water and eat them. Goblin - a Goblin is a mischievous, and usually very unpleasant, vengeful, and greedy creature whose primary purpose is to cause trouble to humankind. Fairy - also spelled faerie or faery, a mythical being of folklore and romance usually having magic powers and dwelling on earth in close relationship with humans. Pixie - also spelled pixy, in the folklore of south-western England are tiny magical, elflike spirits who are often dressed in green and like to dance and play music. Their skin may be flesh-coloured, blue, or green. Their eyes and ears are often slightly pointed. Witch - a witch is a person who practices witchcraft, using magic spells and calling upon spirits for help or to bring about change. Most witches are thought to be pagans doing the Devil’s work.
