1000 stories 

 We will begin our 1000 stories initiative from Monday 16^th September.

 How the 1000 Stories Scheme works for parents?

•  Choose a book to take home each day. A book trolley will be available for parents to swap books at the end or start of each session.
•  An adult shares the story using the Talking Tips bookmark. See attached
•  Child retells the story using their story bookmark. This will be attached to our book trolley.
• We will be placing our book trolley full of a range of books for the children to choose from every morning and after school every day.
• The child collects a stamp at school for each book and receives a certificate of completion each 6 weeks.

Join us every week on Wednesday’s  at 2:40pm in Reception for our Story Café. This is a time for you to join us to share a story with your child or listen to one with your child as a class. Any family is welcome to attend these café sessions J
