THE STORYEXPLORERS IN SCHOOLS

Igniting children’s passion for oracy and story-sharing

Creative storytelling for Reception, KS1 and KS2

 The StoryExplorers offer exciting performances and dynamic workshops to support children’s confidence, creativity, communication and joy.

Performances:

Join Nellie and Nathaniel, intrepid explorers who have travelled around the world collecting story ideas for their StoryGenerator.

From this magical machine they will spin a fiesta of tales with words, puppetry and movement.

Watch them crank the starter handle and conjure up fabulous adventures from its secret compartments – the Cabinet of Curiosities, the Book of Wishes, and even the Box of Disasters!

Through the bedazzling power of the Transmission Helmet, the Story Explorers will bring these tales to life.

Workshops:

Children work alongside Nellie and Nathaniel to create stories of their own, through movement, drawing and scribing. These stories are then brought to life and celebrated by the whole class. The process is physical, dynamic and fun and inspires children’s motivation in oracy and storymaking. To find out more click here

  • "The show was a fantastic hook and stimulus which engaged the children immediately."

    KS1 Teacher

  • "I really liked the StorySquare, especially generating a story, and then being able to ‘see’ it come to life in the square. The children (and I) found it really inspiring and they were totally engaged. We will definitely be using this in English."
