Mrs Bax and Mrs Nicol took a small party of S1 to see and hear the storyteller Michael Kerins at Auchinleck Academy. He talked about his background and how he came to be a storyteller with lots of props, including Graham Davis who played Wee Tom.
He moved on to tell the story of Persephone and Orpheus of the underworld and how Persephone's mother, the goddess Demeter, persuaded the king of the gods Zeus to allow her daughter to live above the ground most of the year and in the underworld in the winter. That is how we got the seasons! All the pupils enjoyed the trip and were gripped by the story.
