LITERARY characters came to life at a Cawston nursery to mark National Storytelling Week.
Monkey Puzzle, The Day the Crayons Quit and What the Ladybird Heard were some of the beloved books that inspired costumes at Nature Trails Day Nursery, as children and staff dressed up for the occasion.
Pre-schoolers at the Coventry Road nursery were delighted to share their favourite stories with friends, and special activities helped them immerse themselves in fantasy worlds of famous books including The Cat in the Hat and Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
They also explored story sacks, character puppets, themed tuff trays and role play games to support their understanding of the books being shared, while nursery families made voluntary donations of items for the Rugby Foodbank.
Deputy Manager Kelly Lawson said: “We had a fantastic time celebrating National Storytelling Week and loved seeing all the effort that went into dressing up. Storytelling is essential for developing communication skills and presents endless learning opportunities for children.
“We are also hugely grateful to our generous families for helping us to support the worthy cause that is the Rugby Foodbank.”
The nursery is supporting national foodbank charity The Trussell Trust as part of a year-long donation and fundraising drive.
