As part of our outdoor learning refresher, we considered how we can take the learning outside and utilise our environment… part of this was @Talk4Writing and @TalkforReading where we focused on oral rehearsal and the magic of storytelling. 💫✨

One of our terrific talk for writing and reading centres. 100% - despite a challenging intake. Do visit to see just what can be done. No reaching for the next shiny new thing - working deeply which basics.
