Science and storytelling connect individuals to the world around them, fostering a deeper understanding of who we are, how we came to be here and what happened and continues to happen around us. Scientific investigation and storytelling both encourage the use of creativity to imagine and explore different possibilities for human beings and their surroundings and this is what these sessions capture. Each storytelling event will begin and end with a story told by the storyteller, exposing the children to tales from all over the world. In between, the children will explore the stories in more depth through role play and reinterpretation, note-taking and drawing. They will also participate in a collective telling of the stories through the use of sound, movement and colour. Each child will be given a copy of the story to take home and retell to their home (or broader) community. Examples of the stories used will be made available as a teachers’ resource pack. This format allows participants to explore different solutions to the same problem and to realise that the problem can be solved in many different, surprising and unusual ways. It fosters divergent thinkers and trailblazers. This workshop takes place every Tuesday morning at Esplora.
