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

This week's Epic marks Bonfire Night with a Tibetan folk tale relocated to Georgian England – and we mean really George-ian! Discover how this fun tale full of plotting and besotting can help your children conquer democracy, speed calculations, symmetry, and more!

This week, Epic storyteller Chip is joined by Helen, an EYFS/KS1 teacher from Buckinghamshire; Bex, a Deputy Head from Cambridgeshire; and Rob, a KS2 teacher also from Buckinghamshire.
