Saturday Morning 10th May Linton Library

Linda Pearson looked after the events at Linton Library on Saturday morning, whilst a team of people put up the fairyland tent, gazebos, laid out tables and chairs and put up diplays, car park signs and balloons at the Infant School ready for the afternoon.

Sophie Smiley talked about her books, and Liz Hide read the story of Stone Girl Bone Girl and showed the children some fantastic fossils. The library storytelling team read stories to the very youngest children.

Marion Leeper visited the Playgroups, together with the Gruffalo and Julia Jarman read stories and led workshops at the Infants and Junior School. It was also "Dressing Up" Day for the schools, and Linton children and teachers entered into the spirit of the event by dressing up as their favouite book characters. Can you spot....Sculduggery Pleasent, Spy Dog, the Mad Hattter, Noddy, the White Rabbit, the Tiger that came to tea, and Paddiwak amongst the pictures here?

Remember Thursday 8th May - photographs

Thursday 8th May saw pupils from the Heights and the Infant School meeting to share books at the Library although we have no photos of that. We do have lovely photos of Garden storytime at 40 Symonds Lane where we listened to "Too Much Noise" by Ann Mc Govern and other stories. The children searched for paper bees and each took home a pumpkin seeedling to grow for themselves.

Linton Theatre Workshop perfomed their Revolting Rhymes again, this time to the Beavers and Cubs and their families - and received an appreciative and very loud "hurrah" for their efforts.

Thank you to Dan Johnson for the photographs.

Remember Weds 7th May - photographs

The beautifully sunny morning started off with Chalemina's performance to the Tots in Tow audience. Then after school, we listened to The Elephant's Child at 3 Mill Lane and the children made elephant bookmarks after the story. Finally the Rainbows and Brownies thoroughly enjoyed some Revolting Rhymes performed by the Linton Theatre Workshop. Thank you to Dan Johnson for the photographs.

And finally on 6th May - Monkey Puzzle in the Garden

Our first Garden Storytime was at 41 Back Road. Rosemary read The Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

As in the book the children followed the butterfly around the garden searching for the little monkeys mum but finding the other animals instead.
