During the week commencing 29^th January, we celebrated National Storytelling week. During the week, the children completed lots of activities linked to storytelling, including using puppets to retell familiar tales, and identifying traditional tales using clues from the stories. Some classes also visited other classes to complete a storytelling session of stories that they had written and some classes completed creative pieces of writing and shared these with a partner. During the whole school assembly, we talked about the origins of stories and discussed the important reasons for reading and listening to stories to inspire and educate ourselves.
