DATES AND VENUES FOR BOOK READIINGS WITH OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE SIGNED BOOKS

Nanna Strawberry looks forward to the following occasions at which the author offers
 readings of Nanna Strawberry Stories  to children and adults, and purchases if desired.

            Friday 27 April Great Sankey St James CE Primary School Morning Assembly.
                       A very enjoyable occasion for Nanna Strawberry. The lovely children
                       happily took part in role play and National Anthem during Assembly
                       and I then visited each year group in their class room to read various books.
                       I am very impressed at the quality of questions by children of all ages.
                       Several discounted sets of 3 sold, from which £20 donated to school funds.

            Friday 11 May Lady Lever Art Gallery to participate in Memories of the Past.
                       I was advised that either Stagecoach buses 1 or 2 from Sir Thomas Street
                      would  drop me off a similar 5 minute walk from  the Gallery, so I took No 1.
                      The driver informed me bus No 2 would have been better because it
                      goes into the Village. I certainly found the walk from the No 1 stop long
                      and difficult, while pulling a book laden shopping trolley, so on leaving
                      I took the No 2 near bowling green, which was certainly closer to the
                      Gallery and a more pleasant route back to Sir Thomas Street. .
                      The group leaders, Jillian, Emma and Mark and participant were all in place
                      when I arrived. We focused on book 6 (Remembering The Young Queen)
                     and the role play conluded with a fantastic rendering of National Anthem !
                      I only sold one book because the group went strainght into a film  of
                      several  royal weddings over the decades which was very interesting...
                      My thanks to everyone concerned for inviting me.  Audrey
            
             Tuesday 22 May Huyton Library. After School  Readings + crafts 3.30-4.45pm
                  This was a happy occasion, combined with crafts, when the children made
                   lovely decorated crowns. They had enjoyed Nanna Strawberry's reading of
                   her book  Nanna Strawberry Remembers The Young Queen, and extracts
                   from a few other stories. Some took part in potato and spoon games!

            Monday 18th June - Croft Primary School, all day: Assembly + year groups
                   It was a privilege to meet the pupils at School Assembly  for reading and
                   role play of Book. 6. On this occasion I then remained at table display in
                   the hall and each year group was brought to the hall for 30 minutes each.
                   Years 5 and 6 had opportunity to role play games from Easter Fun Bk 7.
                    20 books were later sold, for which £20 was donated by NS to school.
