The Big Wild Read has gone global!

Certificates for The Big Wild Read will be reaching as far as Malaysia as one finisher will be returning home there shortly with her certificate, etc. I wonder if she will plant the seeds out there too? Sadly, there is no funding for me to fly out and present the certificate at her school, so we sent it to Spotland Library for her to collect in person. The Big Wild Read seems to have really taken off!

The activity table is new this year and I wanted some variety for it, otherwise we would have ended up with six weeks consisting of nothing but pictures to colour in. Activities this summer have included: decorating plant pots; wildlife masks; butterflies; wild summer cards; and animal crafts. The activity table isn't without its teething troubles: we got templates for cutting out sticky-back plastic shapes for the plant pots and they turned out to be inflexible and very fiddly to use. Something for us to bear in mind next time. Other than that, the activities have been very popular with the children.
