Alec visits Primary Schools across the UK, offering sessions for Reception to Year 6 (P1 to P7 in Scotland and Northern Ireland); he can include sessions for EYFS children if you have a Nursery Class, and can cover up to Year 9, if you’re a Middle School.
Sessions can include traditional stories; picture books; poetry; extracts from modern fiction – or a mix of all these elements. Performance style sessions can be to more than one class; interactive workshop style sessions are best with a single class; both are great fun!
The feedback I’ve received was incredibly positive, with teachers remarking that children who were usually less interested in storytelling were ‘mesmerised’. — Head Teacher, Pembrokeshire, 2011
Session times are normally around 30 minutes for the youngest children, up to 50 minutes for the eldest. Alec usually does four sessions a day – sometimes five, if they’re shorter ones.
When I told the staff you would be coming again there was a universal
cheer! — Head Teacher, Halifax, 2001
Alec’s happy to include INSET for teachers, or an entertaining Parents Talk, for a small extra fee.
You made us feel like there was magic in the air. — 10 year old girl, Blackburn, 2009
