Glodwick Nursery and Infants' Celebration of World Book Day

I told stories to 360 children at Glodwick Infants last week. They had held over their celebration of World Book Day and staff and children were all in fancy dress. I've never seen a school blessed with so many princesses and superheroes - and one scientist!
Staff costumes were equally good, Cruella de'Ville, Old Macdonald and Little Red Riding Hood to name but a few. Twenty minute "blitz" sessions with each class worked really well I thought, with plenty of water for me to drink. The voice was not too shot on saturday morning.
Thanks for the tasty lunch too, Glodwick!

Donald Maxwell

I've added another Donald Maxwell to my list, Excursions in Colour. Chris and I visited Haworth again and I couldn't resist another look around Hatchard and Daughter. I enquired about one Maxwell we had seen last time, this couldn't be found but Excursions in Colour leapt out at me.
It had to be joined by a folio edition of Siegfried Sassoon's Memoirs of an Infantry Officer. A good days browsing.
