26th August 2019 We are very excited to be coming back to St Mary's R.C. Primary in Maryhill next month for another Storyplay Schools residency! Our Lead Actor-Pedagogue Ruby will be in this week to meet with the Primary One teachers ahead of LicketyLeap starting on September 11th, with Virginia and Taz. Every child in Primary One will take part in LicketyLeap - our unique immersive theatre experience for ten children at a time. Parents and carers will also be invited to attend Session 2 of LicketyLeap on September 17th, 18th or 19th in the morning or afternoon. Over 3000 children and their families have taken part in LicketyLeap since 2008. This two session project has a high impact on children's confidence, use and knowledge of language, social skills and emotional resilience. Later this year we will also be bringing Playcard Play and Porridge & Play to St Mary's. To find out more about Storyplay, click here or visit the St Mary's Storyplay page to find out more about previous sessions and see photos and drawings from Storyplay at St Mary's.
