Be a Keighley Story Explorer!

 

Story Explorer is a lively, interactive book group especially for children - and it is free! Over a number of weeks children read through an exciting book for their age group – exploring the book’s themes and characters as they read.

​

We meet on Saturday mornings during term time at Keighley Library. This term we are enjoying lots of fun activities inspired by The Secret of Purple Lake by Yaba Badoe - "a collection of five interlinked stories that take us from Ghana to Orkney, and from Spain to Norway and Thailand".

​

Story Explorers are also wizards at writing - stories in many forms, including dramas and poems! We use the book we are reading as our creative spring-board. This term we are writing poems of many kinds and also learning to draw in the style of the illustrator, Quentin Blake.

 

This is our chance to forget about handwriting, spelling or pleasing other people!  We write about what we want, in ways that we want.  If we wish, we can then share our work with the rest of the group.
