The Story Tent: Myths and Misconceptions

Writer's picture: Gwen HopkinsGwen Hopkins



What if my child does not wish to sit down and be still?


What if my child does not want to sit down and listen to stories?


At your Story Tent class, there is no expectation for children to sit still and listen to stories.


At classes, stories are retold through movement and we provide the children with a wealth of prompts...our imaginations can take us anywhere!


Children use their bodies to move with scarves, pom poms, make noises using instruments...they crawl through tunnels and balance over bridges to re-enact the Story! We shake confetti onto parachutes, throw balls up into the air and disappear beneath the waves (aka parachute!)

We catch bubbles as we roam around freely and imaginatively...



As Mothers of young children and teachers ourselves, we firmly believe that children are born to be curious, to be active learners that use their whole bodies to discover more about their world.


Our belief is that children explore and play in a range of ways and should be given the freedom to do so - this is how they learn best!


‘We must clearly understand that when we give the child freedom and independence, we are giving freedom to a worker already braced for action, who cannot live without working and being active.” - Maria Montessori


Would you and your little one like to join a class that places PLAY and FREEDOM at the very heart?

We would love to hear from you!

Myths and misconceptions tend to color our perception of the world, sometimes warping reality. Uncovering these myths sheds light on concealed truths and expands our knowledge. For researchers examining cultural narratives, Secondary Data Collection Help can offer useful existing sources to enrich their analysis and underpin well-rounded conclusions.

Our classes bring stories to life through movement, play, and imagination! Children explore with scarves, instruments, tunnels, and parachutes, making learning an exciting adventure. As mothers and teachers, we believe in active learning through play and discovery. Inspired by Montessori, we encourage freedom and creativity for the best learning experience. Now, if only someone could do my homework for me cheap, I’d have more time to join the fun.

My recent exploration of a website introduced me to the extraordinary universe of vector graphics. These images, derived from mathematical equations, boast an unparalleled feature – they can be resized flames vector infinitely without any loss in quality. This newfound knowledge has transformed the way I approach design. It assures that my creations will always maintain their crisp, professional appearance, no matter how they are scaled
