Enrichment & Our Core Texts

Bringing Our Enrichment Journey to Life

At Peover Superior Primary School, we believe that stories have the power to inspire, connect and shape who we become. As part of our Peover Mini Dukes Enrichment Programme, we have carefully selected four high-quality picture books to sit alongside our four enrichment strands: Belong & Connect, Explore & Discover, Create & Express, and Contribute & Lead.

These books provide a shared language and a common set of values that can be revisited throughout a child's journey from Willow Class to Oak Class. They help children understand the purpose behind our enrichment experiences and encourage them to reflect on the skills, attitudes and personal qualities they are developing along the way.

By returning to these texts throughout the year, children are able to make meaningful connections between the stories they hear, the challenges they complete in their Mini Dukes Passport and the experiences they encounter through our enrichment programme.

Belong & Connect

Core Text: All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold

This text represents our commitment to ensuring that every child feels valued, included and respected. It celebrates the importance of community, kindness and belonging, reflecting our belief that children flourish when they feel safe, connected and accepted.

Through this strand, children learn that everyone has something valuable to contribute and that our differences make our community stronger.

Explore & Discover

Core Text: Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers

This beautiful book encourages children to wonder, question and explore the world around them. It reminds us that learning is an adventure and that curiosity helps us understand ourselves, others and the wider world.

Through this strand, children develop their confidence to ask questions, embrace new experiences and discover the possibilities that lie beyond the classroom.

Create & Express

Core Text: The Dot by Peter H. Reynold

The Dot teaches children that creativity begins with the courage to have a go. It celebrates individuality, self-expression and the belief that everyone has unique talents and ideas worth sharing.

Through this strand, children learn to take risks, develop confidence and understand that creativity can be found in art, music, writing, problem-solving and everyday life.

Contribute & Lead

Core Text: The Lion Inside by Rachel Bright

This inspiring story reminds children that leadership is not about being the biggest or loudest person in the room. True leadership comes from courage, kindness and believing in yourself.

Through this strand, children learn how to use their voice positively, support others, take responsibility and make a difference within their school and wider community.
