Weekly workshops bookable in blocks of six or eight.  I've designed these sessions to support those children who need it to develop confidence and social skills. 

Sessions are an hour and half long and can take place across a whole day offering two sessions or amorning or afternoon.  The school will select up to 7 children they feel are in immediate need of extra creative support to take part.

I can run the sessions in a library or spare classroom.

We start with a warm up. Children enjoy a making activity and then a storytelling activity where we include the things we have made. Sessions usually run to a theme and can complement the topics being studied.  Each session finishes with a cool down before the children return to class.
