Every Friday afternoon, Acorns class invite parents and carers to join in with a story session. The children vote for their favourite book, and then we listen to the story with our grown-ups and choose a library book to take home.

It’s a fun way to involve families in our learning, and also helps the children to develop a love of reading for pleasure.

Last week we decided to add a little bit of creativity to our session, and as we had been exploring rainbows in our topic work, we did some rainbow colouring. Everyone had a great time, and it was a lovely way to end the week.

Comments and feedback from the adults is extremely positive:

“Thank you for inviting us in, it’s lovely to see what the children are doing.”

“It’s great seeing my child comfortable in her classroom environment with her friends.”

“There’s always a great atmosphere and it’s good to be involved in things at school.”

“The children are so happy and settled, I love coming in every week.”
