A story teller called Mr Phil Okwedy is helping us find answers to our research question:

 

Can storytelling increase year 2 pupils', staff and other stakeholders' knowledge and understanding of BAME heroes in our local community? Can we improve learners' inquisitive creative habits of mind?

  • Developed our questioning skills (bench mark data)
  • Working closely with a storyteller 
  • Told stories orally
  • Pupil and adult self audit -questionnaires

  • All staff have been trained on BAME in the New Curriculum
  • All teaching staff took part in a Story telling Inset session

  • We are working with an artist and a drummer to prepare for a local walking art gallery tour around the area with a film maker 
  • Develop language skills in how to say 'hello' and 'hero' in different languages
