All our children had a wonderful time celebrating World Book day last week but we wanted to share with you a lovely example of how learning at nursery can be extended at home to sustain a child’s experience and help them develop even more!

One of our Cliffe House Pudsey families shared with us how their child had loved the Billy Goats Gruff puppet show they did at nursery so much that they wanted to create one at home using their nursery shared reading book, the Princess and the pea, as his inspiration.

Our little boy ‘was so inspired by his Billy goats gruff puppet show he did in green room that he wanted to do one of his shared reading books at home! All his idea. Mum did props, lighting, script, production, artwork and C was responsible for acting and funny voices, and head artistic designer!’

 

What an amazing example of the power and magic of books! Our team invest a lot of their time into choosing and using stories in many different ways across all our rooms to bring stories to life. Research shows that if books are introduced to children from birth and even read to them in their Mummies tummy, they will go on to achieve and develop faster in all subjects in both primary and secondary school.
