Tales from the combe. Story walks in the Somerset Combes. Sunday, 14 December 2014. Last week I had the joy of working with year two and three pupils training to become primary and early years teachers at the University of the West of England in Bristol.

Tales from the combe. Story walks in the Somerset Combes. Friday, 9 January 2015. Last summer I released stories into the wild along the Coleridge Way in West Somerset, with each book's first pages were penned by acclaimed artists and authors Jackie Morris, Victoria Eveleigh and Catherine Hyde. Finders of the book were then asked to continue the tale or add an illustration. This exhibition features the stories and drawings that were told - did you contribute to the final tale?

Tales from the combe. Story walks in the Somerset Combes. Friday, 27 March 2015. Riddles of the Magna Carta. What has no hinges, key, or lid, but inside gold is hid?

Tales from the combe. Story walks in the Somerset Combes. Friday, 14 November 2014. Talking Storywalks at Taunton CICCIC.

Or CICCIC for short and is a welcome hive of creativity within our county town. So many projects, so much going on in my mind - which to share first? More about these from The Coleridge Way blog here.

Monday 24th March and it's Stogumber and Crowcombe Schools turn to explore the Coleridge Way in Monksilver. The day started with a rather circuitous bus journey which avoided a single S bend, and took 30 mins rather than 10! Undaunted we quickly got the children on task with great support from Stogumber school. Descending down the Holloway track of the Coleridge Way. Waterfall flowing in me,.

Tales from the combe. Story walks in the Somerset Combes. Monday, 20 July 2015. The Sequencing of Space. Here Mr Jelley talks about how Storywalks skills link back to his reading and writing when he was a child (shamefully little to be honest - his words) but how moving furniture and re sequencing rooms developed skills which are key to creating a successful Storywalk (as well as creative writing!
