Little Rabbit
Target Audience – Pre-school and private nurseries
Little Rabbit is a charming theatre performance for pre-school children preparing to move into primary one. The performance is an engaging, interactive and enjoyable, experience that supports children’s exploration in the themes around transition. The use of creative techniques encourage pre-schoolers to voice their concerns about starting primary one in addition to supporting the Little Rabbit who is unsure about starting school. The performance concludes with a hands on workshop using drama and art techniques to further explore transition from nursery to primary one.
“Amy and Louise deliver a charming story which the children can relate to and interact with, they use simple but appealing props to put across the message that its ok to be scared about changes, going to ‘big school’ and the need to talk to someone. The ‘Little Rabbit’ links into a health and wellbeing programme on Mental Health and Resilience in Early Years delivered in 2014 by myself and colleagues from NHS, which used the ‘Oh Lila’ packs. The importance of supporting young children’s transitions is highlighted in all our main documents and ‘Little Rabbit’ has played a key role in the transition process within Angus pre school settings.” – Liz Kirkman, Pre-school Development Officer
