Our Stories

Parent

My son always talks about his Story Project lessons, he loves them! He struggles to engage with most subjects at school because he is very hyperactive, but these lessons really capture his attention. During the lockdown when you were delivering the lessons online, we would do them together and I learnt lots of tips too to manage my covid stress! I am so happy you cover these subjects at school.

Having a story in our wellbeing lesson helps us to relate to what we are learning. Seeing how people deal with their problems in the stories, helps me to think of ways to deal with my problems: Like when the Drum Dream Girl keeps going it makes me want to keep going.

Using stories in wellbeing is also quite relaxing, as we are usually rushing around at lunchtime and when we come in for wellbeing- having a story calms the chaos. It’s also nice because if I’m sad or cross, I can escape into the story.

My reception class have absolutely adored the texts. They have remembered all of the characters they’ve met through the emotions/stories linked to them. They love our Story Project display board and we make links to key words frequently. They are fully engaged in the range of activities linked to each week. We use our visual emotions chart which has really helped with their vocabulary. We all love it!

All of the teachers and TAs have praised the Story Project- they like the fresh approach, with the structure of the lessons, the very helpful medium term plans. Also, the children look forward to their story project lessons.

It has allowed children to find words to express themselves and explore their emotions through the stories we read.
