Epic Learning #Kingdom1000: multiple perspectives, budgeting, and more!

 Join Epic storytellers and creative teachers as they discuss how to draw out learning outcomes from this week's Epic Storytime podcast with easy, fun, and engaging activities.

This week, Epic storytellers Chip and Janina are joined by a truly Epic panel of teachers: Helen, teaching ages 4 to 7; Bex, teaching ages 6 to 8; and Rob and Laura, teaching ages 7 to 11. Together they discuss the curriculum links within the entire canon of stories from the Kingdom 1000 series, marking the 1,000th anniversary of England's first equality law. Discover how to help your children conquer book making, leadership, farming... and much more!
