Foundation Stage & Key Stage 1
Foundation Stage
- The Enormous Pumpkin and Other Stories
Development Matters places particular emphasis on listening to stories and rhymes. I can provide your school with a programme of simple and fun traditional stories and rhyming activities which will complement your work in the classroom.
Key Stage 1
- Rumpelstiltskin and Other Stories
A session of fairy stories and traditional tales which will inspire your class to meet key curriculum targets in English. I have a wide range from which you can choose.

A storytelling session can also help with more specific curricular and cross-curricular topics. Let me know your needs. Examples from the past have included...
Science
- The stories of everyday materials
featuring inventors including Dunlop, McAdam and Macintosh.
History
- From novice to abbot
Stories from a medieval monastery. Ideal as a local history topic for schools near ancient abbeys and priories such as Lenton, Rufford, Newstead , Welbeck, Worksop, Beauchief or Ecclesfield.
- The Great Fire of London
Witnesses of the past, from commoners to the king, bring this dramatic story to life
RE
