Yesterday we were lucky enough to be on a workshop called 'The Bank of Dreams and Nightmares'. The workshop was lead by Nick and Ed and their team of wonderful experts who inspired the children to work collaboratively to think of a beginning of a story. They needed to include all of the things that makes a good story. The story that they all thought of and voted for is truly unique and takes some strange twists and turns but it was clear to see that the children were passionate about getting their points across and they all wanted to have their ideas in the story. Whilst the children were brainstorming ideas, there was a publisher listening on zoom who drew the pictures that matched their stories. Amazing! After a short break the children then got a very special booklet and pencil and got to write their own ending to the story. These story books will be printed and sent to us for the children to write their endings in. We can't wait to share these with you in a couple of weeks.
In the afternoon, the children were Scientists and took a closer look at a sample of rocks. In groups they then had to sort them. The children chose a number of different groups from sparkly/ not sparkly to describing the rocks texture such as rough, smooth, spikey.
On Tuesday we will be heading to the Dorset County Museum in town where we will have a workshop on rocks and fossils. Depending on the weather we may have lunch out but we will make that decision closer to the day. Please can everyone have a packed lunch alongside bringing their water bottles, suncream and hats. We will be walking down so if anyone if available to walk with us and spend the morning with us that would be fantastic please.
