Loft treasure no.1 – ‘All in a Day’

September 13, 2012 · by · in Reviews, Reviews of vintage books (loft treasures!) · Leave a comment

So, here is the first of my posts about the many, many, MANY books I found in Dad’s loft a few weeks ago.  Although it’s not the one with the *most* sentimental attachment for me, it seemed like a good place to start as it links well with another ‘grown up’ book I’m reading, ‘Show Me […]

One small step for Story Seekers…

August 2, 2012 · by · in FCBG, Research, Story Seekers, Storytelling sessions · 3 Comments

It feels as though quite a few exciting things have happened recently here in Story Seekers Land.  Logically I know that they’re not a huge deal, but they are little bits that actually feel quite significant to me.

I am currently in the process of overhauling all the story sacks for C’s pre-school.  For anyone who’s unaware, these are drawstring bags that, in very simple terms, contain a book and a range of related resources to enhance the reader’s enjoyment of the book. Does anyone have any particularly awesome books or resources that […]

A slightly different approach…?

As I’ve previously mentioned, I am currently at home looking after the wonderful little pickles that are C and H.  With no family nearby and limited funds, I will struggle to get the Story Seekers baby and toddler classes off the ground prior to H at least starting at pre-school in September 2014.  I know […]
