Actor and nanny Sophie Warren will be zooming in to your home LIVE with her partner in crime The Book Robot ready to read some stories and play some silly games!
Aimed at Key stage 1 children (4-7yrs), these short weekly after-school sessions are fun, informal and creative. Each book is carefully chosen to fit a weekly theme (climate change, wellbeing, religion, gender pronouns, learning disabilities) aimed at exploring the diverse world we all live in.
We’ll be enjoying some crackers including Peanut Goes for the Gold, a charming book that follows the adventures of a gender non-binary guinea pig (written by the fabulous Jonathan Van Ness of Queer Eye fame!), The Many Colours of Harpreet Singh from Supriya Kelkar that tells the beautiful story of Harpreet’s struggle and adventures in a new city, and Wanda’s Words Got Stuck by Lucy Rowland that follows a little witch who’s a bit too nervous about the school magic contest!
Children learn from what we show them, so let’s show them how to be awesome! And best of all, they’ll be done in time for tea!
Each session will focus on a core theme surrounding the Book of the Week, with associated games and key Welsh words and Makaton signs to learn along the way!
