Sharing Books and Noisy Bees


Pupils from Linton Heights and Linton Infants School met at the Linton Library today to show each other, and talk together about their favourite books. It was great to see them chatting easily as they gradually gained confidence in explaining stories to each other.



The last storytime was a delight, and whilst we all kept as quiet as we could to hear the twittering birds and garden noises, before listening to "Too Much Noise", by Ann McGovern, all we could hear was the ice cream van's tinkling call. I bet he did good business today! An added excitement was when the children were sent off to search the garden for paper bees and were finally sent home with a growing gift....a pumpkin seedling to nourish.




The Linton Theatre Workshop perfomed Revolting Rhymes once more - this time to the Beavers and Cubs and their families. The rhymes were pitched just right for these boys who have all gone home with a new found respect for Red Riding Hood - and giggling about her producing "a pistol from her knickers". They gave the Linton Theatre Workshop a resounding "Hoorah" in appreciation at the end.




Tomorrow is dressing up day! Pupils at Linton Playgroups, Infants and Junior Schools are all dressing up as their favourite book character. Well known author Julia Jarman will be visiting the Infant and Junior schools, and Marion Leeper frrom Cambridge Storytellers will be visiting the playgroups. Rumour has it that a certain very famous book character may be visiting with her.....he has puple prickles all over his back....who could it be?
