We had some creative holiday activities with a fun Storython. Children spun a special story wheel and wrote and illustrated their own fantastic short stories. Everyone did a great job and had a lovely time.
Here are two of the stories written:
Story 1:
Sharks belong in the ocean – not in the middle of the desert. It’s during the time of the dinosaurs and all the sharks in the desert were sleeping and a big Tyrannosaurus Rex was going to eat them but the sharks had magic powers and flew away from the dinosaurs and escaped to NZ. Where they lived in the ocean in NZ and ate a snorkeler!
Story 2:
If this was just an ordinary old lady – why did she have a broomstick – she had a broomstick because she was a witch who flew around everywhere – casting her spells, her very bad spells which turned children into toads when they were sleeping. She turned the adults into sausages and the toads began to eat the sausages. A hunter came from the bear’s house to kill the witch. Then everyone turned back to normal adults and children.
Night Walks: a 90 minute expedition into the forest for 7 to 12 year olds. Vist the magical glow worm grotto for hot chocolate and stories. Experience the sights and sounds of the forest at night… you might even spot a kiwi!
Johnsonville Library had its Mad Hatter Holiday Programme on April 15. It was a madcapped, fun filled hour with stories, searching for the puzzle pieces and finally an exciting treasure hunt in the library. We had lots of fun with our crazy hats and activities!
