At Thrussington C of E Primary School, Early Years have been taking part in weekly storytelling and story acting for over four years. The children absolutely love having an adult scribe their story and then acting out their story later that day with their peers.
I first saw Trisha Lee at a conference at in Leicester many years ago. I was mesmerised by her leading the acting out of a story with adults who were attending the training. That evening I purchased Princesses, Dragons and Helicopter Stories by Trisha Lee, learnt even more and felt better equipped to introduce storytelling and acting within our setting.
I love scribing for the children and hearing the story they want to tell. It really does cover all aspects of the Early Years Curriculum. A recent story I scribed for a 5-year-old was all about Numberblock Number 5!
Would this be suitable for nursery?
