My Itinerary ({: itinerary.length :})
Outreach Visits
In Autumn 2020, as your students and colleagues gently get back into the rhythm of the school environment, how about easing the transition by hosting a storyteller for a day of soothing stories? We are offering storytelling both in-school and online.
Our current offer
The Story Leader will tell traditional oral stories from around the world, and use these as a stimulus for children to create stories of their own. Choose from the three strands for our Stories for Emotional Healing: Dreamers, Tricksters, and Shapeshifters
- Dreamers: Stories for wellbeing – stories reflecting the five ways to wellbeing (connect, take notice, stay active, keep learning, give)
- Tricksters: Stories on philosophy for children – stories that lead children to discuss deep ideas, big questions, and work out puzzles
- Shapeshifters: Stories for escapism – no messages, no morals, just pure silliness and laughter
We are also happy to shape the content of the session to the themes of your creative curriculum or scheme of work you are working on.
In-School
The storyteller can spend a half day with one class in which they develop a story together in detail, or rotate classes with short 30 minute sessions of storytelling. The Learning Team are also happy to discuss with you any adaptations to your school’s circumstances and health and safety protocols, as well as online sessions.
Cost:
£260 for a half day + VAT + Travel
£400 for a full day + VAT + Travel
Please email learning@storymuseum.org.uk for enquiries and booking.
Online
The storyteller can tell two stories at the beginning of the day and set a task with accompanying resources. They can then check back in – at the end of the lesson, end of the day, or end of the week - to hear the students’ creations and give a final story.
Cost:
One class: £70+VAT for 30 minute launch storytelling, resources, and second 30 minute storytelling session
Two classes: £90+VAT for 2 x the above
Three classes: £105+VAT for 3x the above
Four classes: £115+VAT for 4x the above
Five classes: £120+VAT for 5x the above
