A Springboard book | Mary Immaculate Catholic Primary School

The Perfect Home

This interactive book has been created by families who took part in a creative Springboard project called “Be a Best Seller”. During the course families were guided by three Springboard tutors, each with their own specialism, to work as a group through the conceptual process of imaginative storytelling using both words and images.

The inspiration for this course was the New York Times bestseller “Press Here” written by Hervé Tullet. And funding for the course was secured from Big Lottery by the Friends of Springboard.

This interactive book has been created by families who took part in a creative Springboard learning project called “Be a Best Seller”.

Springboard is a Learning Pembrokeshire project committed to providing meaningful learning opportunities to support the skill development, wellbeing and progression of children and their families across nine schools in Pembrokeshire.

During the course families were guided by three tutors, each with their own specialism, to work as a group through the conceptual process of imaginative storytelling using both words and images.
