Children . . pay attention, please. Free time is over, so put away your things and we are going to tell our nice story, so come over here and make a circle on the floor all around me, and we'll tell the story together. We've got a visitor today, so we can tell our story to her.
Will you be all right there, Mrs Binton? I think you'll get a good view of the proceedings.
Hurry up everybody. Don't push - there's lots of room for us all.
This group story-telling is quite a feature of our work here in the Nursery School, Mrs Binton. We like to feel that each little individual has a contribution to make to the world of make-believe, and of course many valuable lessons can be learned from team work. We're a happy band of brothers and sisters here!!
