Welcome to Funky Fiction - the fab and fun workshops with lively learning for both independent readers and those who like reading alongside an adult.
We meet once a month to discuss a brilliant story book, play literature games and do fun activities about the book. Each child takes home the title of a book to read over the course of the month as well as a list of lively projects to enjoy, inspired by the book. During the month you purchase or borrow your own copy of the book, read it and do whichever projects you fancy from the list. Bring back your work next month to show the group and receive subsequent personal tutor feedback via email from Kate.
