"We've read that one!"

Story Club in Reception

Having shared some favourite stories during previous sessions, Miss Lawrence picks up another favourite... before she even utters the title, the children call out: "We've read that one!"

Now, the importance of revisiting favourite stories does indeed help children with a number of crucial skills, including listening and attention, understanding of the world and expressive arts and design. However, the children were convinced of one thing; "We can make up our own stories instead!"

So, equipped with this confidence and motivation, the children have decided that story club should be about their own stories! 

This week, Nico took to the stage as our Storyteller, reciting his own story all about a bear:

"The Bear"

Once upon a time, there was a big bear! He lived in a big cave. He had a little baby. Suddenly, there was a noise. It was a doggy. The bear ate him up! The end.

After the recital, the children re-enacted the story 'on stage', playing the part of each character, including the cave, noises and even the poor dog!

We cannot wait to hear a brand new story next week!
