Aliens from Outer Space Invade The Wheatsheaf Library

Families from Newbold Children's Centre came to The Wheatsheaf Library to join in the fun today.
Q Pootle 5 with his alien voice machine and flying saucer was the star of the story show, putting Hebden Rat's nose out of joint as his retelling of The Pied Piper of Hamelin came a close second in popularity despite a rousing chorus of "Dem rats, dem rats, dem bad rats!" We told that story as we had travelled down a time portal to Hamelin.
Speaking of time portals, don't forget to check out the kids' portal on our website. click here
you will see the entrance to the kids' portal on the top line of the screen.
When we got back there was just enough time to make an alien mask, I'm sure it was modelled on me!

Space Hop - The Rochdale Frontier

I've been telling as many people as I can about Space Hop - this Summer's Reading Challenge. I've been sharing my favourite stories along the way too. Here's me sharing "The Wide-Mouthed Frog"
Even if you're not a wide-mouthed frog there's still plenty of time to hop to your library and join Space Hop - we don't re-enter the Earth's atmosphere here in Rochdale until Saturday 25th September.

Wardle Tenants and Residents Association had a fun day so I took along "Uninvited Guests" from the Bag Books. A story with a water pistol on a hot day goes down a treat!

Rochdale Readers made "Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer" finger puppets - and I finally learnt the tune to go with the rhyme.
