STORYTIME

Children are welcome to gather on the mat in our cosy shop to listen to three stories read by Kasey at 10am each Monday during term time. We read a broad range of books that introduce your child to beautiful language, a bevy of world views and experiences, and delightful artistic works. Spending time together reading is a brilliant way to develop language skills and build a positive culture of reading in your family.

All are welcome, though storytime is best suited to children aged two to five. No need to register. We look forward to seeing you soon!

A BOOK WE LOVED

The Making of Martha Mayfield by Jo Dabrowski

Martha is smart and creative - she just doesn’t show it prefering instead to hide behind her fringe, quiet and nervous. When she is underestimated at school she realises things must change, and she must be the agent of that change. This brilliant, thoughtful and funny book captures Martha’s anxieties and frustrations, as well as her determination and a warm and wonderful family dynamic. A perfect read for the 9-12 crowd. Kasey
