A visit to your school or library

"Margaret Bateson-Hill is an inspiration!

 Her extraordinary storytelling is a combination of magical transportation and practical organisation... she weaves a web of stories filled with stimulating images and vocabulary that the children love to explore and use.

I charge £375 per day plus my travel – from Brixton, South London

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
