Curriculum Lift Off!!!!
If you want to start a new topic with a bang,
why not ask me to come and tailor a story/performance
specifically to your topic?
I can write a special story especially for
your class/school (please give me good notice for this); this
could then be the starting point/structure for children’s own
writing. At least three of my own stories originated from this
sort of request. I also was asked to do a Story Telling
Performance in Bristol based on money and exchange: I did this
based on research on Bristol's history around "The Nails"
I have been Charles Dickens for the Victorians
(Y5/6). I was a Super Hero with a difference (“Farm Man”) for a
Year 1/ 2 topic and later a whole school. This included a
special story and poem! On
another occasion I was five different people (dressing up in
five different costumes) sampling holidays for a Year1/2 topic
on Holidays. My version of Boudicca has been performed in
several schools and Caerleon Amphitheatre to a wide range of
ages.
I can find a story on almost any subject and
will research it fully before a performance. One or two requests
have initially stretched my repertoire but I have always found
one!
