To begin our Christmas celebrations we were so excited to welcome the Hobgoblin Theatre Group to The Lawns. The children were a credit to us all as they listened and joined in enthusiastically with the performance of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." We had spent a long time reading, re-reading and telling the story with the children in a variety of ways in the weeks leading up to the performance so they all knew the story very well which added to their enjoyment, learning and engagement.

During the workshop that followed the cast commented on how much the children knew about characters, settings, problems and solutions. This is due to all of the stories we've been making up together using the resource 'Tales Toolkit'.
