Story Café is a stay and play session with a focus on Communication and language development, with an emphasis on the benefits of sharing stories together. We share a story with props, play and explore around the story with activities, enjoy a healthy snack and finish with songtime. Each child takes home a free picture book and a sticker. Story Cafe sessions are FREE, including all activities, picture book and snack for children and adults, and led by our teacher / Communication Champion. This month we shared...
Bee by Britta Teckentrup
A gorgeous story, shared with families on a gorgeous morning in the park. We hunted for bees in the trees, went on a nature scavenger hunt, played parachute games and popped bubbles. Published by Little Tiger Books in 2016 Find out more here - https://www.booktrust.org.uk/book/b/bee/. And here's a nice video so you can share the story at home - https://youtu.be/9rZchsF3Tlw
Here's what we did...
We're going on a bear hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury
A classic story for sharing and joining in. Brilliant rhyming text and lovely illustrations.
We also shared a poem from Something about a Bear by Jackie Morris today. Find it in the children's library.
and People need People by Benjamin Zephaniah.
Who was Benjamin Zephaniah? Read all about him on the Book Trust website here - https://www.booktrust.org.uk/authors/z/zephaniah-benjamin/
The illustrated version of the beautiful poem from the late Benjamin Zephaniah. Benjamin was a performance poet, he wrote stories that rhyme, stood on a stage and told those stories to lots of people who loved to listen to him speak. He wanted everyone in the world to live together peacefully. The illustrations are great too - loads of opportunities to spot things in the pages and talk about how the people might be feeling and what they are doing. We shared the story, explored painting our hands, making hand and people shaped stick puppets, and cutting out little chains of people holding hands.
