This term, Flourishing Families has seen the launch of Story Tellers! Our new family reading group has started in two of our partnering schools with a total of three groups. Story Tellers provides a space for families to practise their literacy skills together in a relaxed environment by taking part in different story corners.
This includes using story books, E-books, nursery rhymes and phonics crafts and games. Some highlights have included phonics fishing, pipe cleaner letters and feed the shark with the ‘sh’ words! We’ve had some great feedback from the families who have taken part, saying that it is a great place to spend time together as families, and a really helpful place for the children to practise their reading skills.
Earlier this month we had the privilege of hosting the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament for Leeds West and Pudsey, Rachel Reeves, at a showcase of the work we do to empower families.
“You saved Christmas for us,” Gemima said as we handed over four gift-packed stockings for her kids and three large bags of food.
We were thrilled and honoured to receive this prestigious award as part of HM The King’s Birthday Honours in November last year.
