Storytime fun at Hassock Infant School
We had so much fun on Tuesday 10th May at Hassocks Infant School, West Sussex.
It was storytime, so Cynthia sat down with a quiet and attentive class of 42 children and read 'Forest Fun' , a story about being in a lovely english forest and finding food and friends. But it wasn't quiet for long......oh no..... time to role play and let little imaginations run free!
We split the class into two groups, so one group of children were 'forest animals' and the other group were 'forest foods'. Then being inspired by the games suggested in the book, the children ran around the room 'tagging' the food or animal that 'matched' them. Oh shall we pretend to be a badger, or a cricket, or a bird, or a worm, or a big beautiful deer? Or shall we be an acorn, or a mushroom, or a worm, or a big fat juicy blackberry? And just how do you pretend to be a blackberry? Does it make a noise? How does a worm move across the ground or a cricket say hello? To find out more about anili books go to www.anili.co.uk
