Nursery Story Character Day

On Wednesday 20^th January Dolphin's Nursery children dressed up for charity as their favourite character from a traditional story.

Every year the children of Dolphin School select a charity to support based on presentations given by the Year Eight children to the whole school. This year the majority voted for The Thames Valley Adventure Playground who provide, on a two acre site in Taplow near Maidenhead, a unique range of adventurous, therapeutic, educational play activities for children and adults with all types of disability in a safe, caring, stimulating environment.

This term the theme for the Nursery curriculum is stories, so dressing up as a character from a book seemed an ideal way to connect their learning with fun and also support the school’s chosen charity by donations collected for the privilege of dressing up for the day.

The older children organised a Christmas Fair in December which raised just over £700 for the same charity and the parents provided a special lunch for the children at the end of last term which also raised just over £300 for the Thames Valley Adventure Playground.
