Creating Stories in Nursery

Stories have so much to offer: they develop listening and communication skills, improve concentration and memory, bring experiences alive, create a sense of wonder and help sequence events. The Nursery children have been listening to lots of stories so we decided to let them create their own this week. We have chosen pictures that might interest them such as Spiderman or Elsa and worked as a group to create a story thinking about the characters, the setting, any problems that might happen in the story and building to a story ending. The children have really enjoyed taking ownership of the stories and have created some great tales!
