Nimesh the Adventurer: A Reception and KS1 Resource

Created by English Consultant Julie Sargent, this accessible and engaging resource has been designed specifically for reception and KS1 teachers. Focusing on Nimesh the Adventurer by Ranjit Singh and Mehrdokht Amini, Julie encourages teachers to use the text as a tool to inspire their students to think creatively and find a genuine pleasure in reading.

Imaginary play is an essential part of childhood. In this resource, it acts as a foundation for rich lesson plans that help children expand their vocabulary, meet national curriculum grammar expectations, develop early writing abilities, and engage in conversations that nurture oracy skills. It’s full of creative learning ideas that can be easily adapted across all settings and skill levels.

Written using the tried-and-tested approach of the bestselling Opening Doors series, this essential resource pitches high and accelerates students’ literacy skills in an imaginative and engaging way. Above all, Julie asserts that every child can compose as a writer and find joy in reading; we just need to provide the appropriate scaffolds for their imagination to take flight.
