Had a remarkable day with the whole of KS1 at Broughton CE Primary School today. We were focusing on my story "Guy the Grumpy Gargoyle" and we had lots of fun. Naturally we read and shared the book first and talked about what happened and then we went on to retell the story using the puppet characters which I haul around with me to schools. It was lovely to hear the conversations arising from this role play and afterwards the children made their own puppets with lolly sticks. We made a story map and captioned our illustrations and finally we created beautiful "Lost Gargoyle" posters to help us find Guy. This is just one visit to the KS1 class and I look forward to more soon.
Here's a challenge! Can you think of an alternative journey for Guy and his friends? Who might they meet on the way? Can you write and illustrate your own book to share?
