National Storytelling Week 2025
When is National Storytelling Week:
In 2025, National Storytelling Week will be taking place from Saturday 1 February to Sunday 9 February.
What is the theme for National Storytelling Week:
This fantastic annual event is a joyful celebration of the power of sharing stories. Stories teach us about the world; they allow us to step into someone else’s shoes and feel empathy; they help us to relax and escape and they can help develop essential
literacy skills.
What can you do at home:

The children then acted out how the particles behave for each state. Then we conducted an experiment to investigate what happens to ice if it is left out at room temeprature.

The children spent the afternoon investigating a variety of different materials to learn about their various properties and begin to form an understanding of what makes each one unique.
