On the morning of  Friday 4th September we were offered the chance for a parent and child “Play and Read” session with Lydia Simpson from Action for Children. The sessions were well received by the parents that attended and really positive feedback was given which was great. Lydia demonstrated story telling followed by a simple but engaging craft activity based on an aspect of the story and how easy it is to do this. More ideas can be found in the “Play@Home” book that was distributed to parents last year. The children listened to the story “Ten Little Pirates” from the pirate Bookbug bag and made paper plate pirates and jellyfish.
