Northern Lights

After the frantic and high energy Adventure last week, I was keen to try and take a gentler approach to our Adventure this week.We were joined by Adventurer and Musician, Joni Lindsay who helped to score our whole Storytelling experience with original, live music and an excellent track she had created to be played during our creation of the Northern Lights.Our book this week was another Catherine Rayner Story ‘Iris and Isaac’ about two polar bears who are not friends anymore. We tried to create a multi-sensory version of the story with lots of tactile props that Hannah passed around while I read the story and Joni played a simple accompaniment on the guitar.In the Story one of the polar bears sees the Northern Lights, and so did we!We armed each of the Children with a head torch and rolled out some textured white wallpaper. It was great experimenting and really feeling like we changed the environment. The staff and children seemed excited and involved with our version of this natural phenomena.
