School Wokshops

We love visiting local schools and sharing our Story Meadow magic!

Our workshops bring stories to life with hands on experiences so that children can use their own creativity to shape their story.

 

Take a look below at the workshops we offer.

FAQs

Which ages is this best suited to?

Outdoor workshops can be tailored to any age - including preschoolers. 

"How to Write a Billy Bunny Book' Workshop is aimed at year 5 and 6 students but can also be adapted and enjoyed in year 3 and 4.

Do we have to buy a copy of the book?

Families and schools can purchase a copy of the book on the day if they wish but there is no obligation. I do ask that families are made aware of the special visit ahead of time and that I am able to set up in the playground at the end of the day for those who would like to buy a copy.

We're not a school but would love a visit. Would you come and see us?

Sure! Although this scheme is aimed at schools, I have also visited preschools, nature settings and book shops. I would love to share my book with your setting. Get in touch today so we can make it happen!

A work of friendship

Author, Marion Zielentino, and Illustrator, Claire Warwick, have been close friends for over a decade and this project was an absolute joy for them to bring to life. It has inspired many more projects to come and they are both incredibly proud to have created this beautiful storybook to be enjoyed for generations to come. 

Keep a look out for new stories - There are plenty more to come!
