Last week we celebrated National Storytelling Week in school. This week takes place every year and is a celebration of the power of sharing stories.
All the children had the opportunity to not only listen to lots of stories, read their favourite and chosen books but also to become young storytellers themselves.
Parents and carers will undoubtedly already have heard all about our calamitous Monday in school! Just about everything (supposedly) went wrong during the day including (but not limited to!):
- the adults all managing to come to school wearing odd shoes;
- the lunches not arriving and everyone thinking we were going to have to share the little bit of food we had in school;
- the adults forgetting a key to get back in the building after a ‘fire drill’ test and Mr Gittins having to climb back in through a window to open the door (that window looked bigger during planning!);
- Mr Gittin’s water exploding all over him; and
- Cocoa finding a toilet roll, unravelling it and running around school with it!
The idea was to give the children lots of ideas and inspiration for Mrs Harding’s visit and her ‘calamitous’ (but fabulous) story-planning and story-writing session on Tuesday.
