The Story Telling Weekend

Tale Trail

Saturday 25th Feb - Sunday 26th Feb

11.00am - 4.00pm

Welcome to our Story Gallery where we are pleased to display all of the pictures from  our Story & Marketing Workshops facilitated by Creative Director, Cheryl Beer, with nearly 200 children from across Carmarthenshire 

Cheryl says ...

'It has been such a joy to share  the imagination of children, where ideas flow like water to a stream: from 'wordbirds' to 'bookaflies', from smiling sunshines to bookcase tree trunks, every child has added thier own colourful magic.' 

  

Today we bring you the art work & design ideas of Johnstown Primary School in Carmarthen. During the Story Session with Cheryl, the children visited 'The Dream Tree' a traditional tale from the Brazillian Rainforest, so that Head Teacher Mrs Starkey can link their work into the school's Platinum Award for Ecology.
