Storytelling and Crafting

Using my picturebooks and poems as a starting point, the children and I tell stories, act them out, and make drawings inspired by the source material.

Activities include draw alongs, creating their own characters, re-telling my stories using their own characters.

Creative writing &

emotional literacty

Using my picturebooks and poems as a starting point, children explore the thoughts and feelings characters might be having in the source material.

Activities include writing letters to characters, re-telling stories from different points of view, close reading of picturebook spreads, and creating poems that can express a character’s feelings fully.

“I really really liked it. Can we come back and do it again tomorrow?”
