Prep enjoying story sacks with librarians Mrs. Bond and Mrs. Lumsden. ‘Handa’s surprise’ by Eileen Browne and ‘If only’ by Neil Griffiths. A story sack has puppets, masks and nonfiction resources that link in with the story. They are used in classes by our teachers and librarians. Story sacks encourage the students to recall the story, retell it in their own words using puppets, masks or other props. This exploration of story encourages the development of foundational literacies such as reading and story telling.
