Who knew Goldilocks could make rap music!
At our summer activity session this morning children joined Gaye on drums, cymbals and tambourines and enjoyed making music as part of the library's Read to the Beat Summer Reading Challenge.
Several different sessions have been arranged with the next one on Friday at 10.30am where children can make a Flexagon, a magic folding shape.
