Reimagine your world: a KS2/P4-7 storytelling project with Tọlá Okogwu

Free National Storytelling Week classroom resource for KS2/P4-7

Supported by Amazon, we have created a fun, interactive storytelling project with award-winning children’s author Tọlá Okogwu, for pupils aged 7 to 11 (KS2/P4-7). It is based on the theme ‘Reimagine your world’ which supports this year’s National Storytelling Week activity and it is designed to inspire a love of writing.

Alongside a week-long series of classroom activities, we ran free, live storytelling workshop with Tọlá Okogwu on Monday 3 February, where Tola shared her story-writing process and created a story with students. If you missed it, watch the live recording below to inspire your students' stories.

Using our classroom resources

Our classroom resources (for ages 7 to 11 - KS2) provide a week-long learning sequence for you to deliver, which supports students to create stories inspired by Tọlá’s creative process.

You may like to consider taking time out of your normal timetable to deliver the project, or to build it into your literacy/English scheme of work. The learning sequence is developed with the national curriculum in mind, and the curriculum links can be found at the end of the resource.

We also have a free family resource for pupils to complete, full of fun activities for storytelling at home.

Download links can be found below on this page. To access the links you'll need to be logged in as a member, or to sign up for free.

Watch the workshop

If you missed it, or simply want to revisit key moments, watch the recording of Tola's storytelling workshop below, before you complete the week's activities.

Supporting video materials

We have four videos made by Tọlá, which accompany the classroom resource. Please find them below, and follow the instructions in the resource pack for how to use them alongside the classroom activities.
