Physical Storytelling Classes for Kids

Joanne from Mornington

Hi Neighbours,
I wanted to let you know about some fun, educational, interactive storytelling classes I will be running for kids. I am a performing arts teacher and in August will start to run ‘Physical Stories with Jo' for kids aged 4 to 7 years old.
In these weekly classes I will use a range of drama exercises, interactive yoga stories, songs, and reflection time to build on children's concentration, confidence and collaboration skills. Using stories that kids love like ‘Frozen’, ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ and ‘The Gruffalo’, I focuses on the messages behind these stories such as managing fear and being kind. Discovering what makes you special and knowing that your actions affect others. Being brave and able to stay calm using deep breathing to think clearly.
The sessions are designed to be great fun and purposeful. “I believe getting kids physically moving their bodies and thinking simultaneously is so beneficial”.
Classes will run from Island Bay School on a Monday at 3.30pm and from the Scouts Hall in Brooklyn on a Wednesday at 3.30pm.
The first session is free, but you do have to register so get in quick! For more information go to joannelisik.com or email me at joannelisik@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you!
