Kirby Academy today!

Today I shall be visiting Kirby Academy and play story games for an hour or so with years 5 & 6.
There should be around 50 children and my aim on this one is to give them an easy structure in which to begin a story using just one or two lines in each section. This is one of the easiest ways to begin building a story.
We shall also be playing the 'Experts panel' game where volunteers become judges to the answers the audience shout out. This game uses the plot of Harry Potter to identify the 10 stages of 'The Story Journey'
It should be a blast!

My aim in these workshops is to make it easier for children to understand how to write a story. So D J Cattrell is not just about books but about giving kids practical easy structures to understand all aspects of stories and how important they are in life from newspaper articles to Greek Myths around television programmes and over the hill of history. Stories are what we are, how we remember our world and how we make sense of it.
All children can make stories after all they are living one!

Testimonials.
Last week DJ Catrell went to St Johns school to teach Year 3 and Year 4 about creative writing. He told us how he started to write stories for his daughters and that he wrote one for his eldest but the youngest wanted one too. The jolly game he played included silly words and put them in a letter, but the funny thing was that he sent it to a hotel or other factories! We really enjoyed it because he was very funny and he showed us how to do tricks with a pen when you are bored. We bought one of his books which he signed for us. It’s a really good story and we recommend it to anyone aged 7 or over. Thank you for visiting!!
