Reception: Room on the Broom

by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

A kind witch is flying through the sky on her broomstick with her cat when she keeps losing things! Luckily, some helpful animals find her missing items and ask if they can have a ride too. But will there be enough room for everyone? When a scary dragon appears, the animals must work together to save the witch. Can they come up with a clever plan?

What do our Reception children think?

💬 Child 1: "I like the witch because she is kind and lets all the animals on her broom!"

💬 Child 2: "The dragon is scary! I liked it when all the animals helped the witch."

💬 Child 3: "I like saying the rhyming words. My favourite bit is 'Is there room on the broom?'"
