Storytelling Week

Storytelling week has finally arrived. Classes will be having lots of fun listening to, acting out and writing stories together. We hope that you have fun at home too by having a go at telling stories instead of reading them. 

 The whole school will be learning the story of 'The Papaya that Spoke' and, by the end of the week, the children will know the story off by heart (or that's the idea anyway, ask them to tell it to you and see!).

 We've organised open mornings and storytelling assemblies so that your child can share everything they've been doing in class with you, please come along to see what they've been up to:

  • KS2 assembly is  next  Monday, Feb 8th at 2.15,

  • KS1 assembly is this Friday, Feb 5, at 2.30

  • and the Foundation Stage are opening their classes to parents between 9.00 and 11.00 on Friday Feb 5th.

 Friday Feb 5th is also the last day of storytelling week and children and teachers will be dressing up as their favourite book characters to celebrate.

Have a great week and we look forward to sharing everything that we've been doing with you.
