Schools

I have worked as a storyteller in schools for over 10 years and have a variety of curriculum focused workshops for EYFS, KS1 and KS2. Many are suitable for children with Special Educational Needs and can be tailored to ensure all children are able to be involved in the storytelling.

All my workshops are highly interactive and inclusive. They support language and literacy, creativity, confidence, teamwork and communication skills.

Classic fairytales, folktales and popular books are the inspiration for much of my storytelling in schools and can be used to enhance curriculum projects or special events like World Book Day.

One Hour Storytelling Workshops

for EYFS and KS1

Highly interactive and great fun, my one hour storytelling workshops combine music and movement with traditional storytelling to create an energetic and engaging session.

The familiarity of the songs and rhymes help younger children understand the plot and characters and gives them a way into a story which they may struggle to find otherwise. Older children enjoy the physical elements the music gives to the story.

All of my Workshops are visually exciting and use a wide range of props and musical instruments.

Storyteller Sessions

Traditional Storytelling with a strong emphasis on interaction to make the stories come to life!

Play In A Day

Junk Modelling and Creative Storytelling workshops

for EYFS and KS1

Junk modelling is recognised as a great way of developing imaginative play. Using junk models as the basis for a storytelling session is a fantastic way of igniting a child's imagination within a story and an ingenious use of this cheap and plentiful resource.

Links with other areas of the curriculum like creative writing, art and science can also be followed up with my training sessions for teachers.

"The children and staff really enjoyed your visit. We would definitely like to book some more!"
