Hide and Seek Grandad At the Beach

Jack and Amelia Barker were brother and sister who lived at home with their parents. Like many children, they laughed and played together, watched TV, and sometimes they even squabbled! They loved mealtimes around the table to enjoy yummy food and share what had happened in their day. Like many children, they also had a grandad. He was a cheeky grandad who was always telling jokes and making them laugh. But most of all, he always seemed to know when they had a day out and find the best place to hide from them and surprise them. This Saturday they were heading to the beach for a day in the sand and sea. I wonder if Grandad would be there and, if so, where they might find him.

Good Night Freddie

After a busy day, Freddie settles down for a good night’s sleep, but this is interrupted by a series of short dreams about animals that seem to be getting bigger and bigger every time he falls back to sleep. In the end, a really big surprise is waiting for Freddie, but is this another dream or something different and very real indeed?

It is thought that from a very young age, a child may begin to experience short but very vivid dreams that heavily feature animals. As they grow, these dreams become longer and more complex, but how can you possibly explain to a young child what dreams are and why they are not real? Perhaps Freddie’s experiences may go some way to help to explain this mystery.
