Happy World Book Day from Lott Learning 📚✨
There’s something magical about books: that moment you open a page and suddenly you’re somewhere else. Stories help children build confidence, grow vocabulary, spark imagination, and find characters they love.
Happy World Book Day 💛

As Buy Nothing New Month wraps up, I’ve been thinking “new” feels like the default, when it really doesn’t have to be.
Reusing, repurposing, repairing and rehoming keeps items for longer and helps prevent waste.
What habit would you like to keep going?
Workout Wednesday
At A Lott of Drama we’ll be trying out waiter plate, hot seating comical characters and Captain Jack Sparrow will be making an appearance!

“There’s something about singing. It’s good for your mind.”
“Yes - it’s good for the soul.”
That was the moment at the end of our first Bridgewater Choir session and the whole room agreed.
Come and join us!

Thoughtful Thursday
Last night was the launch of ‘A Lott of Drama’, and I’m still smiling. Seeing children walk in nervous and leave brighter, louder, and proud of themselves is exactly why I started this.
I’d love to welcome a few more faces. Call Miss Lisa on 07870 306 335
Workout Wednesday is also launch day at A Lott of Drama!
Minis, Juniors and Seniors are starting with one of our favourite warm ups: Body Language Walk.
Pick an emotion, walk across the room, and show it with body language, gesture and facial expression. No words, just acting.
