the story museum New! Hot Story exhibition
 
 

 

 

 

story performances with exhibitions

The day begins with a story performance for up to 250 children after which we set up an interactive exhibition in the school hall or resource room. This can be visited by a series of classes throughout the day. We also provide learning resources for classroom-based activities during the day and teaching resources for preparation and follow-up.

“They were so excited and motivated, I can’t tell you how much. So many parents came afterwards and said how much their children had loved it. There was so much learning that was not in the ‘core’ curriculum ... the children were so inspired and worked enthusiastically all week.”

Teacher, Kidlington
