I am very happy to do all-school assemblies in a primary school setting - usually an interactive folk tale to get the day off to a flying start.
I will devise a specific assembly/ talk or workshop for a school. The workshops mentioned below give a flavour of what I can offer.
Sessions are 40-60 minutes long (or as long as you’ll give me.)
Nursery / Reception
I am very happy to work with your nursery and foundation classes using either Five Little Ducks went out one day or This Little Piggy , both interactive, lift the flap, extended retellings of the popular rhymes.
•I offer follow up craft and story activities
•I also tell interactive traditional tales from around the world.
Years 1-6
Storytelling of book – Lao Lao of Dragon Mountain or Masha and the Firebird
•With follow up creative writing and/ or craft based on the Folk Tale series
You made it so magical no one could take their eyes off you!
Sybilla year 6
Years 4-6
Workshop based on the Dragon Racer series including an author talk and setting up a piece of creative writing.
•Discover your own secret self!
•Ever wanted to fly a racing dragon? Create your own dragon and tell the tale of the day you met.
You really convinced us that if you take a closer look at things there just might be a dragon on your shoulder.
