Inspiring the storytellers of tomorrow
Headlines Through History
Introducing time travelling journalist Harry Scribbles in this new, interactive children’s show designed to encourage children to write and tell stories.
From hunting woolly mammoths to racing to the moon, this show encourages both group work and individual literacy skills, with children encouraged to take part in the adventures and then describe what they have seen and done.
It further aims to increase interest in history and nature.
See below a review of our Edinburgh Fringe 2025 show:
“It’s a wonderfully engaging show and my son was so excited at the end when he got a wee surprise” - Apphia.
Reinforce Learning
Every show comes with a 4-page newspaper for each pupil, with three template stories from the show and a blank space for a fourth adventure of your own. Teachers have the option to devise a fourth “news story” for the children to act out and later write about or give them space to create their own adventure.
We will offer schools the opportunity to submit their fourth articles to us for inclusion in an annual anthology, which will go on display at a local art gallery.
Children receive a Time Travel News press card and a FREE reporter’s notebook.

But he keeps forgetting what happened next.
Can the children help?
