Book Signings and discovery!.

It has been a busy week this week, I have been hitting work with some vigour as we are hitting silly season for sales and deadlines for Tax Returns and in between we have been working hard on our maths and English.

We popped into the archive centre to ask a few questions to start off our 'discovering history for ourselves' escapades that we are about to embark on were we will be researching lots of different infrastructure things in Oldham such as the mining history, hospitals and the cotton mills.

We attended a lovely little play called Prince Fire, a Diwali  Story by Forest Tribe Dance Theatre.at Oldham Library, yet again a fabulous production.

We also attended a couple of book signings, the first was  at Browns Cakes in Rochdale, the owner of the award winning cake shop, Natasha Brown has written a children's book called Caught Cake Handed. The wonderful thing about the book is that all the illustrations in the book are the sugar paste figures that Natasha created herself. Her talent is awe inspiring but not as inspiring as the kids who all made their own sugar paste heads during the session which they took delight in eating when they got home.



The second Book signing we attended was Guy Bass with his Spynosaur. Guy is a natural born story teller, he had the whole audience laughing from the get go. Oliver assisted in Guys storytelling and transformed into the Spynosaur to the audiences delight, clad with his dinosaur mask, claws and tail he played the perfect part of the Spynosaur to accompany Guy's story telling extravaganza.
