Calling all teachers, carers and parents! Our Corona Diary is for you and your children!
I'm a children's writer and I'm joined up with Kathryn Evan and her amazing Our Corona Diary project! The Our Corona Diary team wants to:
- Give children a voice during the pandemic, by encouraging them to record their daily lives and by reminding them how much their experience matters.
- Provide inspirational resources from authors and illustrators to teachers, parents & carers to help motivate and educate children through the diary making process
- Create a permanent online archive of the pandemic through the eyes of children
- Produce a book, we hope, of selected entries in which every child involved in our Corona Diary will at least be named.
How to get involved:
- Sign up for updates and resources at www.ourcoronadiary.com
- Follow us on instagram @ourcoronadiarygram for weekly prompts and updates and twitter @OurCoronaDiary
- Encourage parents/older children to safely share diary entries tagged #ourcoronadiary and with the weekly hashtag so we can build a community of diary makers
- From May, help us collate entries for inclusion to the archive and book.
I really hope that you will join us! This is a strange and unsettling time for everybody but especially, maybe, for our children. With a diary, all those thoughts and pictures and poems and lists and just ANYTHING; they can all be remembered.
Let's tell our stories.
