Act Out for a Story Box Adventure

5 Mar 2026
What a magical morning we had today at Chestnut Nursery School St Giles!
 
We were so excited to welcome Act Out for a Story Box Adventure session – an imaginative, interactive drama experience specially designed for young children, and thoughtfully adapted for our babies too.
 
Rosalind and the children gathered to open the Story Box, discovering a wonderful collection of props and puppets that set the scene for our adventure - Feelings in Space. From the very first reveal, everyone was captivated.
 
Through movement, role-play, music and sensory exploration, the children explored different emotions, built confidence and became active participants in the story. Together, they blasted off in a rocket ship to Planet Happy, Planet Sad and Planet Calm, working as a team to help the moon find it's shine again.
 
Our babies enjoyed their own beautifully adapted session, exploring the story through gentle sensory play, music and movement. What a calm, engaging way to begin understanding big feelings.
 
We are so proud of how enthusiastically everyone joined in. What a wonderful shared experience for both our babies and pre-schoolers!
