What we offer primary schools

Storytelling theatre
Who it is for: year 1
When: at the start of the new school year

What marks this out is telling or reading a story to still pictures that change as it goes along. The scenic way of telling opens up particular chances for a creative, aesthetic group experience — in watching just as much as in making and performing it yourself: painting, drawing, speaking, singing, acting, versifying, writing, imagining... The theatre-like frame draws the audience's eyes to what is being shown.

When: from around January

Building on the Bibfit library licence (pre-school), more worth knowing about the library is passed on: a detective game, colouring in the Leserabe with a favourite book, introducing books for beginner readers, introducing and trying out Tiptoi books, reading aloud...
