Storytelling connects. There can be no greater joy than reading stories aloud to an imaginative, curious, enthusiastic bunch of little ones. This week we started off with ‘Freddie and the Fairy’ by the ever popular Julia Donaldson. Kids enjoyed this wonderful lighthearted story full of rhyme and wit, with a positive message about patience and effective communication. It also led to a discussion about what they would wish for if a fairy offered to grant their wish.

The second story of the day was the delightful tale ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ by Judith Kerr. There was much joy and excitment when the children were asked to act out scenes from the stories. During the guided reading time, they also took turns to read out from some of their favorite books. We love watching these tiny tots blossom into independent readers.
