Pre-schoolers from Julia Durbin Day Nursery in Headington were delighted to welcome a local children’s author to the setting as part of celebrations for National Storytelling Week.
At the Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ Day Nursery on Roosevelt Drive, children were visited by Teresa Heapy, talented author of the ‘Very Little’ fairy tale series, who delivered a special storytelling session to the captivated group, complete with puppet friends and a sing-along.
As part of the learning experience, Teresa spoke to pre-schoolers about the different versions of fairy tales and her own process for writing stories, before answering any questions from the group on her journey to becoming a published author.
