Youngsters at Droylsden school have a monstrous time

YOUNGSTERS at a Droylsden primary school have been celebrating friendship and learning about being inclusive.

The Early Years children at St Stephen’s RC Primary had some frightful fun as they held a Monster Week.

The kids came to school to find their classroom had been destroyed and left in a mess!

They found clues such as monster footprints and a letter with a story, which explained that it was a friendly monster who was simply looking for friends and they then completed a variety of friendship activities.

Nicola Ellison, Early Years Lead at the Chappell Road school, said: “We made sock puppets for the monster and we celebrated our inclusive week with a monster mash. We dressed up in our best monster clothes and reflected on how grateful we are to be different, unique and have each other.

“We are very proud of everyone at St Stephen’s and we embrace, accept and welcome everyone.”

Any parents or guardians interested in having a look around the Early Years setting at St Stephen’s can attend the school’s Open Evening on Monday, November 25, from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.
