Adventures into Language

Bringing children's literature alive by reading the story then living the adventure, where children become the heroes and stories literally come to life.

• Suitable for school groups from Years 4 to 7 
• One, two or three day programs, residential and non-residential 
• Each program is based on a children's book based in Australia.

After reading the book in class students are involved in preparation prior to going out and living the story.

Part 1 takes place at school reading and discussing the book and getting ready for the adventure.

Part 2 is the adventure at a specifically chosen site which resembles the setting as described by the author. This will involve walking, exploring, experiencing and journal writing about impressions and feelings.

Part 3 occurs back at school writing their own stories, sharing stores and sharing letters with the author. Perhaps even sharing a visit with the author.

The site for the adventure is especially chosen to resemble the settings of the book. The books have been chosen to ensure that they will provide:

• exciting natural world experiences 
• opportunities to relate closely with some of the characters in the story
• important social, cultural and environmental issues
• characters whom all students will identify with
