Story time 

There’s something truly special about story time in Reception, especially when our beloved school dog, Mabel, comes to join us. The children love to gather close with their books, and Mabel listens so patiently as they read aloud, creating a calm and comforting space. For many of our little ones, knowing that Mabel is nearby brings a real sense of reassurance. Her gentle presence helps take their worries away. Whether they’re feeling a little anxious or simply needing a moment of quiet, Mabel offers a kind of comfort that only a dog can. As a special reward, the children are often delighted when Mabel comes to sit and enjoy a story with them, making those moments even more magical.
