Storytelling is key to a child’s development, their
creativity blossoms when they watch and listen to stories and adds to other
forms of creativity including art and writing. During storytelling week, Ben,
Jack and Casey, from Apollo Creative decided to volunteer to read stories and use
mixed media in a classroom at The Forest School in Knaresborough. We read from
books such as Jim and the beanstalk,
Goldilocks and the three bears and Monkey
puzzle using sound effects as well as projecting images to add to the magic
of storytelling. See the video below for how teachers at The Forest School believe
it is vital for a child to be exposed to storytelling:
