Teachers –

Are you struggling with the new framework for literacy?

IAN BILLINGS, children’s author, BBC writer, poet and stand-up comic offers whole school opportunities for input into literacy and formats for individualised learning.

Through CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOPS FOR KEY STAGE 2

Using extracts from his TV shows and books Ian uses drama strategies to develop a clearly understanding of the structure and elements of story telling.

And STAND-UP IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE SCHOOL
Ian presents a giggle-filled stand-up show directly addressing major aspects of literacy. All workshops are self-contained and require the school hall. Full CRB and insurance.
