Charlie and the Dragon - Rupert Stratton goes to print!
25 May 2009
Bounce is delighted to announce one of our associate writers, Rupert Stratton has had Charlie and the Dragon turned into a book! Charlie and the Dragon was used by the company, whilst it was being developed for a book last year. The story features a little boy, Charlie, who is scared of the corner of his grandma's garden. One day he kicks his football into the corner and decides to set off on a quest to rescue it. Summoning up all his courage he enters the corner and comes face to face with a dragon! An adventure that leads to Charlie facing his fear and finding his courage. It made the perfect story to workshop with keystage one-three, focusing on issue of change and transition. The project resulted in a sharing of work, incorporating sensory poetry around courage, devised work and performances of the play. As one group of year two students decided "Charlie's courage is red like a fire beating in your heart" because Charlie isn't scared of anything by the end of the story. The book provides numerous opportunities to entertain and enrich children's learning.
