📚🌟 Julia Donaldson Week 🌟📚
Dear Parents, Carers and Staff,
We are very excited to announce that we will be celebrating Julia Donaldson Week! 🎉📖
We are doing this to celebrate the launch of Julia Donaldson’s brand-new book, Gruffalo Granny, which will be launched on Thursday 10th September! 🥳📚
Throughout the week, the children will enjoy a wonderful selection of Julia Donaldson’s much-loved stories, including The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child, The Ugly Five, Gruffalo Granny and The Snake Who Came to Stay. Each day will bring a new story and lots of opportunities for the children to enjoy storytelling, imagination and fun.
To make the week extra special, children are invited to dress up as their favourite Julia Donaldson character on any day during the week if they wish. 🐭🦊🐲 There is absolutely no pressure to take part — we simply want the children to have fun and celebrate their love of stories.
Please see the attached poster for the full programme and details of our special Granny Stay & Play afternoon on Thursday 10th September, 3:30–4:15pm. We would love our families and Grannies to join us for an afternoon of stories, fun and celebrations!
We can't wait to share a magical week of stories, imagination and fun with the children and celebrate the exciting launch of Gruffalo Granny together! 💜📚✨
Happy reading!
🌟 Stories bring us together and create memories that last a lifetime. 🌟
