STUDENTS from Sandown Bay CE School have received story telling tips from Isle of Wight story teller, Sue Bailey.

Over the past six weeks, students in Y8 have been participating in workshops run by Sue, who has told stories and run workshops all over the world.

Throughout the course, the techniques and imaginations used in the students' story telling improved significantly.

Mrs Adams, who coordinated the workshop, said: "All the students were great — it takes a lot of courage to stand up and talk to peers but Maxine, Daisy and Leo were really superb."

Leo Fitzpatrick, Maxine Harfield and Daisy Chapman were selected to share their work at the Literary Festival.
