 The Story Museum is proud to announce a new touring exhibition combining a spellbinding performance and an intriguing multi-sensory exhibition tackling the issue of global warming.
This storyday follows a similar format to previously acclaimed tours of The Minotaur and The Tree of Life, offering a one-hour top quality storytelling performance for primary years 2 to 6 followed by an interactive exhibition which children can visit to re-explore the story through a wide variety of images, sounds, objects and activities.
 The story performance combines poems, songs and fables into a single remarkable narrative. The exhibition includes melting ice, animal skins, deserts, rice fields, soundscape puzzles, interactive role plays, writing, voting, karaoke and a chance to make your own speech on TV!
The story includes five traditional world tales that can be learned and retold in the classroom afterwards. The exhibition comes with a resource pack of storyboards, story text and guidelines for retelling and exploring these tales further.
The day combines curriculum areas of:
- Traditional stories (world tales, fables)
- Storytelling (listen and retell)
- The science of climate change and what we can do about it
What teachers wrote about previous storydays:
- “a feast for the imagination”
- “learning with all the senses”
- “creative writing improved”
- “a launchpad for cross-curricular work”
We will be touring the show from 1st July 2008. Thanks to a generous development grant we are able to offer the first 10 of these story days at less than half the commercial cost: first come, first served.
This story was developed in collaboration with the University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute.
