DEAR Time
In Nursery and Reception, we have been celebrating our love of reading by choosing our Top 5 Favourite Books for DEAR time (Drop Everything And Read). The children explored lots of wonderful stories and voted for the ones they enjoy sharing the most in class. After lots of excitement and discussion, the winning books were…
Our DEAR Time Top 5 Books:
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Supertato
The Colour Monster
Night Monkey, Day Monkey
Shark in the Park
These stories will also be the books we share with families during our Monday DEAR Time parent drop-in sessions. It’s a lovely opportunity for children to enjoy stories with their grown-ups from home and build positive reading habits together.
The children have been very enthusiastic about their choices:
Gracie said, “I love the pink colour monster and all the hearts.”
Riley told us, “I love the monkeys – they are funny.”
Renee expressed, “ I love it when my mummy comes into school for DEAR time with me.”
We are so proud to see our young readers developing confidence, curiosity and a real love of books. We can’t wait to continue sharing these favourite stories—and discovering new ones—with you all!
