Helicopter Stories
In Ladybirds we enjoy participating in 'Helicopter Stories'. This is a holistic approach using the power of story-telling to develop communication and language, literacy and personal, social and emotional skills, in children aged 2-7 years.
It is based around story telling and then acting out the child’s story in a safe and secure setting. It lets children dictate their stories to an adult who then writes it down verbatim. The children then sit around a taped out stage and they are asked individually if they would like to participate in the acting out of the child’s story and whether they would like to take on a particular character.
Come in and look at our display and read some of the wonderful stories the children have written.
