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:
Today, the Carmel House Leaders conducted the Carmel House Assembly, where four brave Year Six students shared their favourite books from the classroom library. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to express what they enjoy about the books they have been reading.
