Traditional Tales, Diverse Cultures, Empathy and Belonging, Communication and language

Age Group: 3-7 (EYFS & KS1)

Suitcase Stories consists of a Storyteller working with small groups throughout the day. During the sessions the children co-create and share stories together based on a multi-sensory, initial stimulus offered by the storyteller. The storyteller then builds on ideas and any developing narrative coming from children's responses, both physical and verbal. We work with teachers to understand current learning focus and desired outcomes.

• Communication, Oracy and Language.

"These experiences are vital for all children in helping them to explore their understanding of the world around them. Three reluctant talkers became absorbed and involved, calling out their ideas."
