Netballers, ballerinas, footballers, squash players, cricketers, runners and fitness fashionistas enjoyed Storytime this week when they participated in Exercise Storytime making all the actions like the animals in the story. It was an energetic workout followed by finger puppet craft and another way to have fun with language and storytelling.

Children dressed up in exercise gear as dancers, gymnasts, strongmen and soccer players ready for Exercise Storytime this week.  They did lively actions and pretended to be animals in the story then made zoo finger puppets for craft. It was another way of having fun with stories.
