The Adventures of Piggy and Woof

Themes

​

I have a large resource of stories suitable for

class settings (Reception, Year 1 & 2) or

children’s clubs. All my stories are aimed at

ages 4-7+ and address issues that many children

have to face on their epic adventure of life.

 

Themes include:

• Caring for the world and animals

• Bullying / Being a good friend

• Believing in ourselves / Being the best that we can be

• Staying safe

​

I have a series of books inspired by Army life (but applicable to all children) with themes including:

• Moving house

• Joining a new school

• A parent going away

 

I also have many stories to fit the church calendar year, including

• Christmas

• Easter

• Harvest

 

Sessions

​

My professional qualifications include thirty years of experience working as a theatre practitioner in many schools and a dramatherapist in a number of therapeutic settings. Through these storytelling sessions, children are able to express their feelings about difficult and sometimes painful issues. I work predominantly with individual classes, to facilitate more opportunity for discussion / expressing feelings. However, some short stories also work well in an assembly setting.

 

Each session includes:

• Introduction to the theme

• Bringing the story to life with the use of props and toys

• Opportunity to express feelings about / discuss the issues raised

 

Session lengths can be flexible and will vary according to whether I am sharing a short story or a book (20 minutes to 45 minutes; I can also do a longer workshop with certain stories – with interactive materials).

Bespoke stories

Alternatively, if you are looking for a specific theme,

do check with me as I may have a story to cover the issue. If not,

I am always open to writing new material!
