Robot Birds
Stage 2-3
One-off workshop (2 hours)
At Story Factory we’ve wrestled (in a totally gentle and bird-friendly way of course) birds and poetry into the mechanised, robotic 21st century! In this workshop students will begin by creating their own fantastical Robot Bird, a creature that represents some special aspect of their own personality, then write a narrative poem sharing the tale of their first meeting with the Robot Bird.
