Our monthly event invites all little storytellers, and their families, to join us around our special online campfire.

Using our shadow puppets, we'll explore some traditional folk tales.

This month our stories will be inspired by a very silly story, called The Ridiculous Wishes.

After our story, we'll take some inspiration from the characters to create a brand new story of our very own.

We explore the early stages of language and literacy development through games and play.

Have fun, build confidence, create stories!

You'll need:

Internet connection

Webcam and microphone

Paper and pencils/crayons

Your imagination

How it works:

We'll email out some reminders, 2 hours before your campfire begins, and again 10 minutes before it starts.

You will be able to use the log-on link and passwords from the email to log onto the zoom meeting room.

Your storyteller will open up the zoom room at 10:55am on the day of your event.

We ask that you turn on your web cam, and set your user name to the name of your child.

The storyteller will not admit anyone into the chat if they do not recognise them from the booking list.

Permissions

By booking a ticket and logging onto your Shadow Story event, you accept that you are granting Oak Tree Arts the following permissions.

1) To record the live zoom meeting via the zoom recorder - this recording is used as a memory aid for your storyteller, and will not be shared with any third parties.

2) To share and publish your child's creative work online and in print.

If you have any questions or concerns about these permissions, please get in touch: hello@oaktreearts.co.uk

Fundraising

Oak Tree Arts does not currently receive any external funding and so we have created our Shadow Stories as a fundraising event. All money raised will go into our support fund to keep our projects running and pay our team a small wage.

If you wish to support us further, you can also donate directly to our support fund here: gf.me/u/zf653s

Have fun, build confidence, create stories!
