We've had a fabulous last month of our Tuesday SenseStory sessions, and will be rocking out with our finale tomorrow 👩🎤 A day I'm sure will be filled with cheers, fears and tears 🙈 but looking forward to seeing our SenseStory Stars for one last Tuesday story 🌈📖

Here are some pictures from a recent story where we thought of different ways to get to sleep 😴 We drank warm milk around the campfire🔥bounced out lots of energy on our space hopper 🦘 counted sheep 🐑 and lay on comfy pillows ☁️
Only three of our Tuesday sessions left which is very sad, but I know you stars will make them great 🌈📖

Today I will be performing with the ADA learning disability drama group at Preston's 2nd Disability Pride event that's taking place on the Flag Market 11am to 3pm today 🏳️🌈
There will be stalls and performances throughout the day, so if you're nearby then come check it out 😊
We are performing around 12:15pm and are doing a musical mashup of A Midsummer Night's Dream 🧚♀️
Here's a reminder of the group's incredible effort for last year 🥳
"Proud of Preston" performed by ADA Adults Disability Arts (ADA) performing their song "Proud of Preston" to the tune of "Valerie" by Amy Winehouse/The Zutons.ADA group is part of Link-ability ...
Here is some news that I share with a heavy heart.
It has been over two years since SenseStory started and I have honestly enjoyed sharing every single story with you. I love seeing your little ones developing; watching as they wave or clap during our song for the first time, as they join in with the actions with our suitcase, as they thoroughly enjoy a space to make mess in, and all their reactions to our puppets and costumes. I am so grateful to you for letting me be a part of those special early years. However, due to a change in our home circumstances, July will be the last term of our Tuesday sessions. This has been the hardest decision, but I know it is the right one for our family at this time. I’m hoping in time we may be able to return for some special events, or seasonal stories, but right now we need to take some time out to focus on other things. Thank you so much for all your support! 🩵🌈
We are here for five Tuesdays in July, so let me know if you'd like to book one last time 📖

Last week's session was a messy one
Our story was all about things that make us smile 😊 We splashed in (or scoffed) taste safe mud 🤎 became little ladybirds 🐞 created the sensation of playing on the swings at the park 🛝 ate ice cream🍦and came nose to nose with a big furry puppy 🐶
Can't wait to do it all again tomorrow 📖 🌈

Last week's story is one of my favourites yet 📖 🩵
We helped a frog who was adamant that despite it being the done thing, they did not want to be a prince 🐸👑
We sailed down the stream on lily pads 🍃 rescued a mouse from an owl 🐭🦉a bear from a beehive 🐻🐝and a dragon from a fire 🐉🔥 before discovering a rainbow wizard 🌈🧙🏽 who helped us discover our true place in life 👸🏽

Sorry for the silence recently 😬 It's been a busy time in the SenseStory house, but we're looking forward to seeing all our SenseStory Stars tomorrow 🌟
And to get us in the mood here's some snaps from our April Fools Day session, where we followed a cheeky monkey making fun of his friends just for being who they are 🐒 We grazed on grass with the zebras 🦓 stomped with the elephants 🐘 and painted edible face paint on the mandrills🧑🏽🎨 before drawing attention to the monkey's own features 🙈

It will come as no surprise that we at SenseStory love World Book Day! We know that over recent years parents may have become critical of the pressure it puts them under to provide a costume for their child, however we are big fans of the event, and not just because we love to dress up (which we do), but because it is so much more than this!
World Book Day is a Charity that aims to promote reading for pleasure by offering every child and young person the opportunity to have a book of their own. It recognises reading for pleasure as the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success, yes you read that right, more so than their family circumstances or their parent’s educational background or income. Their mission aligns closely with our own desire to inspire a love of story from a young age, which will hopefully develop into a love of reading for pleasure which your little ones will carry forward with them contributing to their own successful futures!
So remember on World Book Day it doesn’t matter what your child is wearing, but more so what has inspired them. Use World Book Day to prompt discussions about their favourite books, what did they enjoy about them, and help them to recognise the joy they get from reading 🥰
