school storytelling times

All storytelling sessions are differentiated

All storytelling sessions are interactive

As a "rule of thumb" - the smaller the children, the smaller the audience size

There is a one hour set up time, so I would arrive approx. an hour before the first session.

Fee is based on info. supplied by the school. If pupil numbers change +/-10, you should inform me and the fee may be adjusted.

There are usually two in the morning &
one in the afternoon.
