Seven Stories’ The Wombles EYFS Workshop
Key Info
The Wombles – the original eco-warriors – are coming to the Ouseburn! Discover how the author Elisabeth Beresford hoped that her stories would encourage children to fight pollution and think up ways to ‘make good use of bad rubbish’. In this workshop we’ll look at how we can help fight climate change and what rubbish we can use for good, as well as heading out around the Ouseburn Valley together to see how we can help look after our urban environment and discuss what we could do to improve it.
Seven Stories understand that early years education is the foundation of a child’s future development. It is in these formative years that a lifelong love of learning is developed and nurtured. Seven Stories is here to support teachers and educators by developing an educational programme that not only encourages a love of reading but supports critical thinking, personal, social and emotional development and communication and language skills. Seven Stories will help to build confidence, resilience and perseverance using a range of different texts, both fiction and non-fiction, role-play, rhymes and poems.
About Seven Stories
Seven Stories is the National Centre for Children’s Books. They work with schools in many ways including school trips, book subscriptions, author and illustrator visits (digital or in-person), facsimile hire, visits or residencies from their team, and joint projects and research.
Seven Stories schools trips are 2 hour sessions with one hour in their unique gallery spaces and a one hour workshop with their dynamic Story Catcher team. Your group will take part in an interactive and imaginative led-tour of their exhibition where children will go on a sensory and immersive journey, followed by a workshop inspired by one of the books featured in the gallery. The sessions are all linked to the theory that there are seven basic plot types.
They can tailor school trips to a particular book or theme for additional cost.
