Story-Space
Experience The Story!
The Jabiru StoryPort at each site holds our talking-stick, story cards, tellers cape, story-circle markers and an endless array of magical prompts that help children to love telling and hearing stories. Additionally, our on-site libraries include a regularly cycling range of story-books for all ages.
Anything Is Possible!
Stories come from a world in which anything is possible. ‘Story-ing’ lets children in remember, create, reflect, imagine, wonder and problem-solve.
Thank You
Many of these ideas come from the work of a dear friend and colleague of Jabiru, storyteller Bettina Nissen, who gives us permission to share them through C4K.
