Next week’s play sessions and Reading Fairy tickets are available to book now. Enjoy the sunshine and we will be back soon! ☀️
Another fabulous day at Tales in the Park!
We went on a shark hunt with Reading Fairy and sensory storytelling.
Phonic Fox introduced us to the initial sounds of some sea creatures.
Music Mouse had her ‘sun hats’ and props to accompany seaside themed songs.
Chat Cat brought his seaside Talkabout cards and a parachute winner used to make ‘big’ and ‘small’ waves and introduced new vocabulary for the younger ones.
Book Bear brought a story about a boy called Timothy Pope who had a new telescope at the park. Can you guess what he saw?
Children enjoyed making their own telescopes to explore the park with. We saw birds and trees, and luckily no sharks!

I’ll be at Longton Park on Tuesday 11th August. Come and say hello to Reading Fairy and her friends! We’ll be making telescopes to use in Book Bear’s story. We’ll “Look at the sky, look at the ground, look left and right, and look all around!”
Another wonderful day at Tunstall Park today.
I met lots of lovely families and little ones.
They enjoyed meeting Reading Fairy and her friends.
As always, Music Mouse’s house was very popular.
We made telescopes like Timothy Pope’s to use in our story brought along by Book Bear.
I have two Summer Specials left this month.
