Truth

I have spent ages trying to carve out an image for myself as a storyteller. To put myself forward as a dynamic creatress, capable, articulate and engaging.
I have manifested an almost exact replica of who I really am. No one would ever know that this is not the real me, unless..unless, they were creating from the void, resourcing back to the nothingness.
Inside me I have a deep well of muted silence.
Mute because I have never given it the space to breath, growl or sigh.
I have been embarrassed by it's clumsiness without ever giving it the chance to do more than stumble.
It is different now. As I grow a baby in my belly I realise that this place I shut down and ignore. is the mulch. It is the fertile soil where all is formed.
I am going to let it out, to draw my pail deep into this well.

Stone School

I have had a brilliant week at Stone School as part of my Roald Dahl residency.

We only spent one day doing Roald Dahl Stories, when Year 6 spent the day creating a play version of James and the Giant Peach which was HILARIOUS!!

I particularily enjoyed the clenched and dribbling aunts and a special mention to Callum whose old man was sublime.

On Monday I spent the day with Year 5 exploring the magic and mystery of the Aztecs. As well as stories rituals and songs we played tribal and subtle stealth games.

Tuesday we spent the day exploring India, yoga and chanting were wrapped around tales from the Ramayana.

Wednesday we went to the longest river in the world, the Nile, boating along it with Osiris and Isis and creating poems to bless the river.

This is Rosie, I reckon she is my biggest fan.
I am really looking foward to seeing her and hearing her new jokes ( she is going to be a stand up comic)
