Little Puppeteers

Tonight after tea Greg and Miranda put on a finger puppet display for us, which was very amusing. It was vaguely based on 101 Dalmations played by a dog, a bear, and a rabbit in a Punch and Judy style; somehow it almost worked! They have been practicing for a few nights, and we've challenged them to do some more research and try again...

Tonight Lewis read Paul Gallico's 'The Small Miracle' about a small boy, his donkey and St Francis of Assisi. I was wondering what he'd make of it, and was pleased to see his immediate reaction at the end was "Aaargh they've left it on a cliffhanger!"

Tomorrow he's planning reading Margaret Atwood's The Labrador Adventure.
