# Sweet or Sinister...

  ![Image of Sweet or Sinister...](https://files.schudio.com/trawden-forest-primary-school-2/images/news/h_and_G.jpg)  6 January 2026

**This week we are starting a **new fairy tale**, but today Year 6 had to use a range of clues to work out **which story we are learning about.  These were: gingerbread biscuits; some bread crumbs; a variety of vocabulary: lured, temptation, deception, captor, courage, abandonment, deception and trail; as well as a variety of sweets.  Can you guess what the tale is?****

**Year 6 worked it out! However, the version we are studying is a dark and somewhat sinister one: Neil Gaiman's Hansel and Gretel.  The children are excited to find out more!**
