This week we celebrate National Storytelling Week 2021. For our language and literacy activities, we are going to focus on short stories to support children explore their creativity, try out new vocabulary and build confidence in speaking. Also, I will be including a story a day read by me. You can find the videos at the bottom of this week’s home learning page.
