If you prefer a FULL DAY PROGRAMME here are details of Skirrid Mountain's exciting Story Building Workshop
All Day Story Building Workshop
For Years 5-6
Creativity - Literacy - Oracy - Performance
Framed by puppets and stories from the show 'Grow!', this is a thrilling day of exploration and creativity.
Packed with fun, games and activities, the workshop delivers skills and techniques, enabling pupils to create and develop their own stories.
Each stage of the process is supported by a story from 'Grow!'
First as a large group, then using Story Building Kits in smaller teams, participants are inspired to outline the 'skeleton' of their story, place 'flesh' on its bones and finally build detail into their narrative.
The latter part of the day is spent working on the presentation of the stories, as the teams read and perform their work to the rest of the class.
COLLABORATION - IMAGINATION
The workshop is designed to be delivered to a maximum of 30 pupils.
