She worked alongside the wonderful Vivian Gussin Paley - researching storytelling and acting.   We discover how from this friendship and collaboration Helicopter stories were created.  Helicopter stories can boost children's communication skills through storytelling & poetry.  The most educationally, connected  powerful way to work with children is to observe and listen to all their communication.  We explore how a story could be one word and how we can treasure this.  This can be such a boost for every child, every child is involved.  Education is individual for all children and we love the way this approach captures this is fabulous.  To find out more about Helicopter Stories  & Poetry Baskets, head to helicopterstories on Instagram  Websites: helicopterstories.co.uk  makebelievearts.co.uk   Head to  www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk to discover more with The Beckies.
