Happy Birthday "StoryTime"!

Today marks the first Birthday of our Bilingual StoryTime workshops.

To celebrate the occasion, I volunteered at my kids's school,

I turned into Emma, the StoryWitch 

and told Room on The Broom to Sam's class

and Meg and Mog to Eliott's class and to my neigbour's class.

Anton tagged along, 

he was such a darling in his skeleton costume.

Hard to believe it's been a year since I told Meg and Mog to a nice bunch of kids

during our first ever bilingual StoryTime workshop at the Bibliothèque Alain Lorraine.

I'm thankful for all the fun that has followed.

Aujourd'hui, StoryTime a 1 an,

pour fêter ça, je suis allée raconter Meg and Mog et Room on the Broom

dans les classes de mes enfants ce matin,

C'était chouette!

Je suis reconnaissante pour ce 31 ocotbre 2012 

où j'ai raconté Meg and Mog à un groupe d'enfants bien sympathiques

 à la Bibliothèque Alain Lorraine 

pour la première fois.

C'est avec grand plaisir que je vous retrouve là-bas tous les 15 jours depuis.

Merci à tous pour votre enthousiasme pour nos ateliers,

Englishly yours, 

Emma

PS: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Soirée "Doudou et Pyjama"

October 17th, 2013 ~ La Bretagne ~ Reunion Island

WOW, what a great time we had!

The public library in La Bretagne celebrated its 20th Birthday last week.

A weekfull of events took place,

We were involved last Thursday for a special "Soirée Doudou et Pyjama"

(ie: Teddy Bear and PJ party)

The afternoon rain sent our outdoor project to the drain so we filled the library instead.

My mum can make anything grow

YES, "jaune" in English IS "yellow",
good job!

It's a BLUE whale

I love my mum, and you know what?
She Loves ME,
(and she always will...)

Can you help Maisy and Charly pick the right colour for the  carrots?!

ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is our reading list for the evening:

My Mum by Anthony Browne

Maisy's Big Flap Book by Lucy Cousins

Where's Spot? by Eric Hill

Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson

Ketchup on your Cornflakes? by Nick Sharrat

Pajama Time! by Sandra Boynton

I came up with a plot line to unify all these books and to fit in the theme of the evening,

but it was one of these "you had to be there thing",

I tried to write it down on this post but it makes it sounds very boring,

when really it was not!

Special thanks go

to Frédérique Clain at the public library for inviting us to join the celebrations of the 20th birthday

to Marie-Laure and Cédric who kindly helped take care of my younger children

to Nicolas who came out of work early to take pictures and care for our kids

to Al, Sam, Eliott and Anton (our 4 boys) for being so good that evening,

and finally to all of  you who came 

and showed such appreciation for our work.

Thank you

and see you next time!

"Bookishly yours"

Emma
