Visit Katie Morag on her remote island home of Struay off the coast of Scotland. Explore the island, meet the characters and relive some of Katie Morag’s adventures, all while discovering what life on a small island is like and learning some Scottish words along the way. The workshop is very interactive and the children will take an active role in bringing the Island to life. The session finishes with a lively ceilidh as the children inhabit some of the characters.
This workshop is perfect to support year-round learning as well as the following important events in your year planner:
