To celebrate World Book Day (Thursday 6th March), luxury homebuilder Mulberry Homes has provided a storytelling session to a school based near its popular Steeple View Chase development in Irchester.

Located on Farndish Road, Steeple View Chase is a beautiful collection of 75 homes, comprised of three and four-bedroom properties and stylish three-bedroom bungalows.

World Book Day is an annual awareness day aimed at promoting a love of reading and stories, and to support that endeavour Mulberry Homes enlisted the help of a local storyteller to share the joy of stories with students at Irchester Community Primary School.

Tom the Tale Teller delivered an exciting session to 60 pupils from Year 3, who thoroughly enjoyed his creative and engaging presentation, which involved telling several different stories with the help of a suitcase full of props.

Rebecca Richardson, Senior Management Team/Class 5RR/Class Teacher and English Lead at Irchester Community Primary School, said: “Year 3 loved the terrific tales from Tom the storyteller. Tom's tales were enchanting and the pupils were entranced. It has inspired some of them to try to tell their own stories. It was the perfect end to our World Book week. Thank you to Mulberry Homes for organising it.”

Sophie Leathley, Senior Brand and Marketing Manager at Mulberry Homes, said: “We were delighted to provide this storytelling session to the students at Irchester Community Primary School, and its wonderful to hear how much they enjoyed it. World Book Day is an excellent cause, and we are proud to support the mission of spreading a love of reading and stories.
