Preschools

Preschool sessions with Amanda and Fred the Cat

I specialise in interactive storytelling for young children and have been taking my sessions into preschools for over 10 years.

All my Preschool Sessions are highly interactive and combine a lively mixture of storytelling, music, movement, make-believe and drama.

They are fantastic for speech and language development and strengthen listening and communication skills.

They are an exciting way to engage young children and to inspire creativity.

​

All sessions are devised by myself and can be tailored to suit any setting.

What you say:

​

'Thank-you Amanda. It is lovely to see the way the children's faces light up when you tell them stories.'

'Just wanted to thank you for running such a wonderful group. You bring to life everyone's sense of wonder and fun (including the grown-ups!)'

​

What to Expect: 

​

Sessions always begin and end the same way, so children quickly become engaged and comfortable to join in.

I have a little black cat puppet called Fred. He is friendly and gentle.

Children love Fred and Fred loves stories.

Fred introduces the theme or story for the session either with a book or with his story baskets.

This is then explored with music and movement using rhymes, familiar songs, make-believe and early years drama.

​

Sessions are based either on popular picture books and classic tales or tailored to compliment any learning themes the children are enjoying within your setting.

​

Sessions are very visual and the children enjoy using a variety of props and percussion instruments.
