Storytelling at Columbia School

Since March, Didi Hopkins has been working alongside us to develop children and teacher's storytelling and storybuilding skills.

Didi is an experienced director and storyteller, more recently working with adults in the business sector. By the end of May, she will have met and worked with every child!

She has engaged the pupils at Columbia entirely and children are challenged to develop stories and dramas.

The workshops for each class, have been co-constructed by Didi, the children and the class teachers. The children have expressed to us a feeling of empowerment and teachers have shared that they are hoping to spread this way of working to other learning in their classes.
