Monday 3rd to Friday 7th February is Storytelling week, organised by the National Literacy Trust, which we plan to address in school this year through shared story sessions and accessing some live storytelling workshops with award winning authors and storytellers. Throughout the week classes with join together to sharing stories with each other. On Monday afternoon we will have our first story telling session where the older children will be paired with younger children and they will have the opportunity to both read stories and tell stories together. Later in the week our teachers will swap classes for the end of the day story time to share stories with different classes. Our daily assemblies will be focussed on the art of storytelling and focussing on the theme of reimagining our world. We look forward to welcoming families to participate in Storytelling week through our DEAR session on Friday 7th Feb at 3pm.
What is National Storytelling Week?
This fantastic annual event is a joyful celebration of the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world; they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy; they help us to relax and escape and they can help develop essential literacy skills.
What is our theme for National Storytelling Week?
The theme for National Storytelling Week 2025 is ‘Reimagine your world’. Whether it’s something unexpected on your way to school, odd sounds you hear at night, or a path you’ve never followed, the world around us is full of secret lives, places and possibilities. The most extraordinary story can come from the most ordinary place: it just needs someone to find it.
