Lynne begins by talking about what it’s like to be a writer and illustrator. She explains how a picture book evolves and reads and analyses one of her books with the children. She then brainstorms the group and, through a series of imagination exercises, creates characters for the children to write about and suggests ideas for taking their stories in unexpected directions.

Writing workshops Years 3-6 (1-2 hours)

One of Lynne’s favourites! She reads two stories and then draws funny animal pictures for the children to guess and keep. The children sing, and Lynne is generally rather silly. Midway, there’s a break for the children to draw something related to the stories. Lively, noisy and fun!

Storytelling Reception – Year 2 (45 mins minimum, 90 minutes more fun!)
