Content: Storytelling and Activity

• Story telling of ‘Oh No Charlie Farley!’ with active participation from the children e.g. find the squirrel, shout ‘Oh No Char;ie Farley!’

• Elaine asked questions about the story and then drew out the theme.

• Activity - children had a copy of the photo frame page from the story which relates the theme to themselves. Children drew pictures of what they considered tthey were good at (at their level). Although they needed support to capture their thoughts in pictures, the discussion time after the story and during the activity with staff was invaluable.

• Story telling of ‘Don’t be scared Charlie Farley!’, again active participation and questions posed and answered.

• Impact: Classroom display, further discussion on each child being special and unique and what they can do well.
