School and Nursery

'Storytime with Anna Christina' developed at nurseries. Workshops are a mix of listening, learning, drawing, drama, singing, and dancing. Several skills are covered e.g. social interaction, developing self-confidence, listening, and concentration skills.

Sessions are fun, engaging, interactive, creative, and educational. Age ranges from preschool to Year One and Two school groups are accommodated.

Storytimes complement Key Stage 1 and areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Music Audio Stories have different themes which at times, connect to learning programs. Some stories are ideal for the beginning of the school year when new children are settling in. Others are energetic with movement.

However, they all stimulate listening and observation skills. Children learn about animals and insects, as well as other valuable life lessons and they enjoy singing and dancing along. Occasionally props and visual aids are used.

Season Specials

A number of stories are tailored for different seasons throughout the year.
'Christmas Magic' is perfect for Christmas performances.
The audiobook includes a sing-along song that children can learn quickly.
It also incorporates Christmas themes such as giving and sharing.

'Chris the Caterpillar' is an excellent Summer story, when children are learning about the colours of flowers and are spending more time outdoors. 'Weird and Wonderful' works well for Halloween. It teaches children about the less popular bugs such as centipedes and slugs and the importance of not stepping on the insects. Plus children love to draw spiders in their webs!

The recent addition to this category is an Easter story called 'Easter Egg Hunt'. It was extremely popular during Anna Christina's Easter Library Tour in 2019 and Easter Library Tour in 2022.

Children were fully engaged at all times throughout the story and workshop. The children were kept focused. They enjoyed the story, singing and movement.
Lynne Norris - St George’s Primary School

Both groups were engaged. She explained the workshop well and was calm and sensitive to their needs and responses. They really enjoyed acting out the story and got the message of putting rubbish in the bin.
Wendy Kelly - Jelli Tots Nursery

I thought the story was great, the children used their imagination and took part in the story. I think the children really enjoyed this kind of storytelling and it gave them a chance to all join in.
Jeuene - Treetops Nursery

The children were really engaged and were excited listening to the story and drawing what they could hear. Simple - easy to listen and retell the story.
Kirstie O'Connor - Stonebridge Primary School

Anna Christina was engaged with the children and parents/carers. She was able to encourage the children to listen to the music and carry out the activity after the story.
Abena Pinamang - Willow Children's Centre

The story was amazing, the children had a lot of fun and Anna Christina interacted with them so well. It's something really interesting because they use a bit of their own imagination.
