Yesterday I visited the fabulous Carmel Leung Sing Tak School in Hong Kong with StoryTellAR to read the kids my Tale of Temujin and tell them some of the juicy history and other details they can find if they download the StoryTellAR app! The students were so engaged, answering lots of my questions and asking some of their own! It was a lot of fun!

My second Zoom visit last Friday was to my old friends at Glenealy School! World Book Day was in full swing, with everybody dressed up as their favourite book characters! It was great to see so many fantastic costumes, not least from the staff! After a great assembly presentation of WBD activities and challenge results, Temujin the Tiger came to visit in a fun story reading, with lots of roaring and screaming to rock the school! Take a look at the fun slideshow below! Huge thanks to lovely librarian Gisele Stones for inviting me, and thanks to the school for the lovely photos!

My blog followers will know that I recently spent 2 fabulous weeks giving Story Planning Workshops for Camp Asia in Hong Kong by Zoom. The optional final challenge was for the participants to complete writing up their stories from their Story Plans! I was delighted to see that three talented and hard-working participants took up the challenge – well done Yate Chee, Riya and Christy! Their stories were fantastic: click on the Camp Asia link here to read them! Before you do, just a heads-up…you might find some of the characters in these stories rather unusual! That’s because I picked them out of a hat for our courageous story-planners, who then HAD to use them in planning their stories! I thought this would add to the fun – read the stories and YOU be the judge :)!
Two fabulous Story Planning weeks!

I’ve been having a blast this week and last, working with the fabulous kids enrolled in my Story Planning Sessions with Camp Asia! We’ve been working on all the essential ingredients for a fantastic story, including Story Idea, Characters, Settings, Plot, and of course brilliant beginnings and memorable endings!
To the kids in Week One, aged 8 to 10 – you were fantastic! You worked so hard to produce some great Story Plans, and I can’t wait to see the stories you write based on your plans!
To the students in Week Two, aged 11 to 12 – I’m having such fun working with you! Keep up the good work so far!
You can see more fabulous photos from Week One on Camp Asia’s Facebook page at this link!
