Review
We had so much fun counting down to Christmas on 8 Dec with Ms Elizabeth Beer from the Britisth Council!
The story of Zoe's Christmas List by Chloe and MickInkpen was indeed brought to life by Ms Beer's delivery. The children were delighted in joining in the imaginative journey of Zoe and Beans to the North Pole to stick Zoe's Christmas Wish List Kylie for Father Christmas to see!
They shared their own Christmas wishes, came out to help Ms Beer to pack Zoe's things into her day pack, and located the North Pole on the globe to make sure they knew the way.
They reveled in the many happenings in Zoe and Beans' journey including finding a lost baby polar bear. They braved the snow and blizzard together with the characters. They also learnt that when the little bear was in danger, saving him was the only thing that Zoe had in mind – her own Christmas Wish List was no longer important. How wonderful it was to learn that Zoe got more than she wished for from Father Christmas in the end!
Every boy and girl in the audience was delighted to get a set of Zoe and Beans activity sheets, which included a Choccy Bear Biscuits recipe, colouring sheet and picture dominoes as well as a copy of the Highlight/High Five Magazine for Christmas. We hope that they will enjoy doing the fun activities at home and reading the stories in the magazine!
A great thank you to Ms Beer for telling the story and for celebrating Christmas with us!
