All Sorts: Can Gran Climb Trees?

A fun story about learning about age and appreciating each other

Nia's parents have to work in the holidays so they ask Gran to come and stay. Nia thinks summer won't be fun as surely Gran won't know how to make friendship bracelets or climb trees with her. But Nia's gran surprises her and, together, they discover that you're never too old or too young to have fun and learn new things.

This story is perfectly pitched for 5-7 year olds and supports the PSHE curriculum core theme of relationships, looking at families and respecting others. Includes advice and activity notes for parents, teachers and carers.
