National Storytelling Week 2022

February 4, 2022 by admin

This week our literacy texts have been a huge focus, as well as encouraging the children to use their topic related vocabulary to create stories using their imagination.

At Nettlesworth, we believe that Storytelling is a timeless art which does not depreciate in value as times goes by. Stories are a crucial part of development in childhood as well as proving to be a popular and relaxing past time for lovers of reading and writing of all ages.

Storytelling can take many forms; from writing stories, reading stories aloud and using drama to act stories out! We are lucky to have a wide variety of outlets through which stories can be communicated ranging from comics and magazines, e-books, paper books and theatres for dramatic re-enactments.

It would be great if you could continue this at home with your children; giving them regular opportunities  to create their own stories using imaginations – LET’S MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN 🙂

Mrs Morton told a story using role play to Class 3.

Mrs Aspinall inspired Class 5 with their ‘Love to Read’ text!

Miss Grimes worked with Class 4 to recreate a Greek Myth.

Miss Milburn share a puppet story with Class 1.

Mr Graham blasted off into a world of heroes with Class 2.
