National Storytelling Week
Sycamore and Chestnut class took part in National Storytelling week today. The theme for this year was 'Reimagine Your World." which involved the concept that the most extraordinary story can come from the most ordinary place.
To start of the morning, the children were lucky enough to spend time online with an award winning author- Tola Okogwu. During this online session, the children were taken through Tola's writing process and were able to work with her to refine ideas for a story about a superhero. Next, the children worked in mixed age groups, using the same writing process to come up with a superhero story of their own. The inspiring session from Tola ensured a buzz in the classroom as the children busily began writing down their own ideas.
