Visit from storyteller Jan Blake

As part of celebrating Black History Month, Sherington had a visit from the world-renowned story-teller, Jan Blake, that captivated the children. She held storytelling sessions – accompanied on drums by another performer. Pupils in Nursery were told a story about how the sun, moon and stars came to make their home in the sky. Years 4 and 5 were told a story from West Africa about a hunter and two leopard cubs. Ask your child what story they were told; Jan gave older pupils tips on how to remember details when storytelling. Prior to the sessions, pupils were given an introduction to Jan where they came up with their own questions for her. Look out for her responses in a newsletter soon…
