Storytelling with Phil McDermott

March 24, 2015
After launching our Literacy Week with a thoroughly enjoyable and engaging assembly, children from Years 1 to 6 each attended a storytelling workshop with Phil McDermott. Children learnt about the way in which stories can be told to engage your listener and how using your voice (as well as your body language) can bring a story to life. We look forward to seeing the children reading with some of their newly developed skills.
