π©π»βπ¦±π«Mrs Arabella The Storyteller has finally hung up her story coat after 14 years of visiting some amazing schools, childrenβs centres and libraries.
Not to mention my little lockdown mobile library π π and my Clever Chimps Storytelling Adventure classed with preschool children and parents. π΅
I have worked with the most amazing parents, staff and students in my workshops and of course the most magical children ever who I hope will remember and treasure stories for ever and when they grow up share magical story experiences with their own children. π πππ
So a HUGE thank you to you all for making my story days so special and of course a huge hug from Chimpy.π΅π΅π΅π΅π΅π΅
Clever Chimps page will remain to share any fun literacy information with you and as most of you know I am back in the classroom teaching where I am sure Elmer and the hungry caterpillar π might sneak their way into my work bag occasionally xx
THANK YOU # # Nicola

Children are often hungry when they get in from school and it can be challenging to come up with new ideas for quick and healthy snacks that wonβt fill them up too much if theyβre having dinner later.
Here are some suggestions you might like to try.
