Chris Holland is an International storyteller:

"With gentle humour and wordsmithing skill Chris Holland leads you into a place of imaginative thoughtfulness and soulful smiles. His storytelling comes from an understanding and relationship with the earth that opens the listener’s senses to the natural world. Always a delight!" - Jane Flood, Storyteller

Chris tells and enacts a ‘bundle’ of creation myths and fables from around the world, enhanced by an intriguing collection of musical instruments. The stories are suitable for KS1 & 2 and are chosen by the audience from the magical ‘story bag’.

The stories cover a variety of topics and are chosen to encourage wonder and connection with the natural world as well as conversation and debate across a wide range of sustainability issues. Choose from:

Creation Tales from around the world
Sustainability Fables
African Creation Myths and wise tales
Australian Creation myths and good ole yarns for the didgeridoo
The Dream Catcher and other Native American Stories
A world of stories – a mix of the above and more!

Storytelling, story making and re-telling.

Story-making and re-telling workshops are suitable for KS2 children. In these fun but intense workshops the children learn to play the role of the storyteller. Story-making incorporates environmental art outdoors (indoors on rainy days), while for the story re-telling Chris shares some tricks of the trade and encourages everyone to re-tell their favourite story from the ‘story bag’.

This is what one teacher had to say about the outdoor storymaking activities:

I may want to add another page with downloadable files with activities about  to work with the stories in the classroom or outdoors at a later date… is that possible?
