Using place to inspire story writing for KS1

In this online workshop for teachers of Key stage 1 children, we will explore a unit of work looking at simple creative stories using places we know and love as an inspiration.

We will explore through the use of school-based fieldwork; playground mapping; images of places that are important to us; creating fantasy and real representations of place using 3D materials.

Come along to a hands-on, online workshop suitable to be adapted to use with all key stage 1 children, ready to experience the creation of stories within places we know.
