Join us to give your child a story-based English experience this winter.
Storytelling - Create, imagine and communicate in English this Winter
Why?
Stories are one of the best and most popular ways for children to engage with a language.
-
Telling stories instils a love of language in children and motivates them to read. The more a child reads, the faster they acquire language and begin to see how it can be manipulated.
-
Telling stories improves language skills such as vocabulary, story recall, and reading aloud with expression. This makes it a gateway to more natural pronunciation and usage.
-
Storytelling is fun! When students create their own stories, they have a lot of motivation to use English to express their own ideas.
Our courses bring stories to life through creative drama, storytelling, and hands-on activities that inspire children and teens to create, imagine, and communicate in English.
Learners will build confidence, develop their vocabulary and communication skills, and collaborate with others as they create their own characters, settings, and original stories. By the end of the course, they will have strengthened their English skills and produced unique stories they can be proud to share with family and friends.
Early Year English – Learning time with Timmy (Ages 3-5)
Our Winter Course is designed for young learners aged 3-5 and follows the engaging Learning Time with Timmy methodology.
Through animated Timmy episodes, circle time, songs, games, arts and crafts, storytelling, and playful phonics activities, children develop confidence in English while having fun in a supportive learning environment.
Each two-hour lesson offers a variety of hands-on activities designed to keep young learners active, engaged, and excited about learning.
Your children can follow the story of Timmy and his friends as they all learn through their adventures.
Early Year English (Ages 4-6)
Create, imagine and communicate in English this Winter
Your child will improve their literacy skills whilst having a lot of fun - as their teacher models how to read. During these daily ‘read aloud’ sessions, the teacher will do a ‘picture walk’ introducing your child to their storybook ‘At the Zoo’. They will also read the story aloud, modelling pronunciation and simple comprehension strategies. Students start interacting with the story and the text as they are naturally curious about the content and feel at ease in a low-stress environment.
Drama Games
Learners will start each day with simple drama games. Through creative activities, learners will boost their energy, sharpen their concentration, and reduce stress in a positive, supportive environment. These games also help build confidence and encourage students to start thinking creatively about the ideas and themes they will explore throughout the day.
Create your own Story
Students will develop their language skills through the exciting world of storytelling and LEGO. Students will build characters, settings, and scenes using LEGO, then use their creations to develop and tell their own stories. Through this hands-on approach, learners will practise using the language they learn alongside creative thinking to build confidence in using English. Learning in this interactive way will encourage students to use their imagination, work collaboratively, and become creative storytellers.
Final day ‘Invite a Parent’ event
In the last half hour of every course, parents are invited to come into their child classroom and see what their child has accomplished over the week.

Storytelling - Toontastic
Using the child-friendly animation app Toontastic 3D, your child will learn about storytelling, plan and animate scenes, narrate and record their own animation which you will receive at the end of the course. As they develop characters, settings, plots, and story structures, they will build a deeper understanding of storytelling. Writing storylines and character dialogues helps strengthen reading and writing skills, while recording their animations encourages clear communication and develops speaking confidence.
