S1 Storyteller Extraordinaires!

Well done to the S1 Storytellers who all performed magnificently at our storytelling event for family and friends on Thursday 30th May. Thank you to supporters for coming along to share the magic of storytelling. And thank you to the wonderful Bea Ferguson, a celebrated storyteller who has worked with our pupils over the past few months to introduce them to stories and develop their confidence. Bea, you have been a great friend to Coatbridge High. Thanks also go to Fraser Burns, former CHS pupil and soon to be drama teacher, who has inspired pupils as he helped to train them for the storytelling event. We loved the ‘Hey Francesco’ warm-up! This has become a highlight on our departmental calendar and we are amazed at how our S1 Storytellers grow in confidence throughout the year. Bravo!

S1 Storyteller Group

S1 Storytellers have been working with celebrated storyteller, Bea Ferguson, for the past six months to develop their confidence in public speaking. They have learnt stories from around the world and closer to home. Some have even researched their own family stories about relatives who have lived fascinating lives. They are now ready to showcase their stories at a Storytelling Show on Thursday 30th May (1:45-2.55pm). The event will be held in the school library. The storytelling group would appreciate the support of friends and family. Come along and enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of cake whilst experiencing the magic of storytelling.

Please contact Mr MacKay (English Dept.) if you have any questions about the event (01236 794848).
