School visits for Early Years through Year 6! (P1 to P7 in Scotland)
People often ask what work do I do with the different age groups in schools so here's a sample of what is possible!
Reception.
I like to read from Noah Ramsbottom and the Cave Elves and discuss
Noah’s adventures in the Dinosaur world! It’s interactive and I love to get the
children to roar and pretend to be dinosaurs. I like to get them to draw scenes
from the book.
Year 1. This depends if the Year 1’s are good writers or not. I depending on this I would read
from Noah Ramsbottom and the Cave Elves and either set a short art and design
task (drawing and labelling a map of Noah’s journey) or a short writing
task.
Year 2. I often do a writing workshop with the children, reading from ‘Cave
Elves’ and getting the children to start to write their own Noah adventure. I
like to get Year 2’s to share their stories with the group and I will do a short
Q&A with them! Year 2’s normally have a lot of questions!
Year 3 and 4. I will work from Noah Ramsbottom and the Treasure of Skull
Island. This is a book with a lot more dialogue. I set a creative writing task
for the children, we share the children’s work and finish with a Q&A.
Year 5 & 6. I like to work with both of my Sam Marsh books for older
children, reading passages from both books and setting a creative writing task.
With these books I like to get the children into small groups to write scripts
for their own Sam Marsh plays! Children plan, write, rehearse and perform the
plays. And as they are writing radio plays we’re concentrating on dialogue! It’s
a lot of fun and it’s good to get everyone involved. I would finish with a Q & A.
