Storytelling Workshop with Havant Early Learning Partnership

Just a few photos from the amazing day I had yesterday with the HELP project, at Sharps Copse Children's Centre.  I was excited to deliver a workshop to a local cluster of Preschool and Foundation Stage Staff, exploring the true magic of Stories and Storytelling to develop language, literacy and creativity in young children. 

My aim was to enthuse, re-enchant and explore how sharing tales meets children where they are, strengthens and enhances both communication and relationships. You are never "Just telling a story?". 

There was laughter, colour, songs, stories, objects, fabrics and buckets of enthusiasm as I took people through how many of the early years curriculum objectives can be met with 'story' and shared techniques, hints and tips.   Time flew and the air was humming, as people gleaned ideas, remembered and validated how to turn storytime into a main event rather than an extra, or time filler! 

From the questions and feedback at the end of the session, I went home confident that the local children would reap the benefit and my mission for the day had been accomplished!
