Story  Time-for two weeks starting April 26th

We found that repeating a story several times during World Book Week was thoroughly enjoyed by many of the children, evident by their engagement and focus on the book. It allowed them to fully absorb the story and develop a better understanding of it. They were able to participate more fully in  who? what? where? questions relating to the story and develop a sense of sequencing. New vocabulary was heard repeatedly within a meaningful context.

So, we are going to build on this success and have a story book that will be read every day for two weeks. Any themes that children show particular interest in will be explored further

The books we have chosen to read will be posted here on the blog with an accompanying video if one is available.

Ladywell’s first book is going to be

Augustus and his Smile by Catherine Rayner

At Inveralmond  the story will be

Down in the Cool of The Pool by Tony Mitton and Guy Parker-Rees

The rhyme for both centres will be

 

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are,

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are.
