World Book Day is in March each Year.

We have  chosen and are sharing four books with each cohort of children this week. The books have been chosen to reflect the childrens interests and to explore new titles from familiar authors.

The stories will be read several times to children either individually or as part of a small group, both indoors and out.

Next week the children will vote on their favourite. We will share the results with you.

There will be a sway coming your way soon with links to all the stories on line but here are the titles in case you have any of them at home or would like to find them on line yourselves. Most are on YouTube.

We hope you enjoy this range of stories. We chose stories this time rather than factual books but rest assured there are always a wide range of books available in the nursery for children to dip into whether they be  interested fiction, non fiction, lift the flap, touch and feel , look and find, numbers, letters, poems…etc!
