Year 5 Enjoy Magical Story Walk with The Word’s Graham

Some of our Year 6 children were treated to a magical story walk around the local area, led by Graham from The Word in South Shields. As they explored familiar streets and green spaces, Graham brought tales to life with his animated storytelling and deep knowledge of folklore.

The children listened with fascination as he retold a classic Brothers Grimm story, capturing their imaginations with its twists and turns. He also shared the folk tale The Stag and the Stork, sparking lively discussions about its meaning and message.

The walk not only encouraged a love of storytelling and oral tradition but also helped the children see their local area in a new light—filled with wonder, history, and inspiration. A big thank you to Graham and The Word for such a memorable experience!
