Goat Goes to Playgroup by Julia Donaldson, Nick Sharratt

This is an Early Years planning brainstorm to use as a starting point for provocation ideas to enable the environment. Children will develop favourites when it comes to stories, rhymes and poems. Listening out for rhyming words is a fantastic pre-reading skill. I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married. One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler. It was great to hold the book in my hand without it vanishing in the air the way the songs did. This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. Most children love acting and it’s a tremendous way to improve their reading. I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books.Julia also writes fiction, including the Princess Mirror-Belle series, illustrated by Lydia Monks, as well as poems, plays and songs – and her brilliant live shows are always in demand. Funnily enough, I find it harder to write not in verse, though I feel I am now getting the hang of it! My novel THE GIANTS AND THE JONESES is going to be made into a film by the same team who made the Harry Potter movies, and I have written three books of stories about the anarchic PRINCESS MIRROR-BELLE who appears from the mirror and disrupts the life of an otherwise ordinary eight-year-old. I have just finished writing a novel for teenagers. Playgroup has begun. Time to have some fun. There's a commotion in the classroom as Goat and the other animals go to playgroup.
