Virtual visits via zoom or google 
During lockdown Richard delivered a number of virtual visits to schools and community venues which he very much enjoyed, the feedback was great!
 
He's looking forward to many more virtual visits until we can get back to in-person visits again. Costs are currently £125 for an hour session. If a 2nd or 3rd  session is booked on the same day, then additional sessions are charged at £55.00 per hour or £35 for 1 x 30 min session.
The fee includes a 15 minute free ‘test’ session with the school beforehand so that we can check that the technology works properly for both parties.

Feedback on virtual storytelling and literacy workshops 22nd January 2021
 
Good Afternoon Richard,

I just want to pass on my thanks for your workshops over the last few days. Our children absolutely loved them. So much so that siblings were joining on to each other's sessions so they could have a different story. Our Twitter feed also shows that parents and Grandparents loved them too.

As it was such a success - I wonder if you could do another session after February half term ?

Thanks again and take care

 Hi Sarah,

Both sessions have been very enjoyable in year 3.

The initial session mid-November gave the children the chance to discuss rhyme and listen to Richard's masterful storytelling, whilst the follow up session this week gave the children a chance to show off their own rhymes and imagery based on 'Krindlekrax' our class text in English. E.g. 'Krindlekrax drinks Pepsi Max'. The time has flown by in both sessions.
The safe zone Richard creates when discussing words has perhaps given the children more confidence in discussing their own ideas when generating synonyms and forming alliteration during the sentence stacking part of our English lessons.

 Your second event went down even better, most interaction we've had on our live events so far.

Our class of key worker children were buzzing after the meeting.  They had prepared questions after looking at Richard's books and the children were thoroughly engaged.  Miss Carrick, the class teacher, was very impressed with Richard and felt the children gained so much from his talk.
