Student teachers at the University of Worcester have been getting advice on how to inspire children through storytelling in the classroom.
As part of the university’s annual storytelling festival for children, Primary Initial Teacher Education students took part in a workshop with storyteller Cat Weatherill.
It coincided with the second year students’ course module on books and narrative.
Student Jordane Cox said: “I think it was good to have a whole session on just storytelling because obviously with primary school you have such young children that it’s going to be a really good way to engage with them.
"The way that Cat did it showed other ways to make it more interactive for them.”
