• Author and Storyteller Chris Connaughton

  Fri 21 Mar 2025

  This morning we were visited by Chris Connaughton who is an actor, playwright, author and storyteller. Chris started the day with the whole school, telling us that when he was a child he was very shy but stories, acting and performing helped him to find his voice and to feel more confident. He taught us to take a deep breath and use big and loud voices when speaking or performing to a group.
  In our classroom, Chris told the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood' without a book or pictures. He told us his own version of the story, adding in extra details and his own ending where Granny was found hidden in the wardrobe and the wolf was scared away! He also retold the story of Rumpelstiltskin with the help of the children who joined in with the related refrains. The children love listening to Chris as he's so inspiring and engaging. He taught the children some tongue twisters which helped to warm up their voices. He inspired the children's imaginations and engaged them in his comical and exciting re-telling...their faces show it all! They loved every moment. Thank you, Chris!

   

   

   

  

• Pancake Day

  Mon 10 Mar 2025

  We had a lovely pancake celebration on Shrove Tuesday. All of the children made their batter for pancakes and then cooked their pancake. We put lemon and honey on them and they were delicious. We also took part in pancake races and flipping pancake competitions. It was such great fun. The sun shone on our fun afternoon which topped off the experience.
