If you're looking for a little extra help with homeschooling, then help from Bluecoat is here.
They are holding free online storytelling sessions for families, inspired by the theme of 'Twisted Myths' which will help entertain and educate children during lockdown.
Produced by storyteller Gav Cross, the interactive sessions will take place on the Bluecoat's Facebook page.
Taking inspiration from subjects on the school curriculum, Gav will explore Greek myths, the Romans and Ancient Egyptians.
All stories are recommended for ages seven and over, or Key Stage 2 and above. All sessions are free but viewers are asked to make a donation if they can, which will go towards Bluecoat’s family programme, which will benefit the Bluecoat which is in Liverpool, Merseyside.
The three sessions taking place include:
Lost in the Labyrinth….
Tuesday 2 February, 3.30pm
Theseus and The Minotaur and the importance of keeping a promise.
The Romans in Wales?
Wednesday 3 February, 3.30pm
How Anglesey was the nasty end of the Invasion line, for the Britons...
Are You My Mummy?
Thursday 4 Feb, 3.30pm
An Ancient Egyptian story of gods and rivers.
Betty Ritchie, Bluecoat’s Participation Manager and Children and Families Lead said: "We know it can be a challenge finding ways to entertain your family during this lockdown. At Bluecoat we would usually have a programme of family events throughout the year.
"With our building closed, we’re keen to bring as many events and activities to our family visitors as possible that are both entertaining and enriching.
"Gav is incredibly popular with our visitors and we can’t wait to see these brand new sessions."
