Review
Children love ghost stories, and they enjoy being scared!
The whistling wind, squealing bats and knocking noises that started of Sounds Spooky by Christopher Cheng captured our young audience's attention from beginning to end at our Frightfully Fun Halloween event.
What a surprise it was for them to hear our storyteller, Mrs. Jan Mann, read about the little girl ghost in the haunted house who tried to convince herself that she was not scared! The various noises closing in were from three young children who ventured into the rickety old house. The audience loved the suspense, and the delightful twist at the end when the children and the young ghost came face to face.
Valerie Thomas' Winnie-the-Witch provided a change in mood when Mrs. Mann told how the good witch Winnie kept tripping over the black cat, Wilbur, in her equally black house. She tried to change Wilbur into different colours, much to everyone's amusement. The children loved chanting “Abracadabra!” with Mrs. Mann each time Winnie raised her magic wand in the story. No wonder Winnie-the-Witch remains a favourite as she celebrates her 25th anniversary.
Happy 25th Anniversary to Winnie-the-Witch!
To give the children even more flavour of Halloween, Mrs. Judy Luk read two poems on the festival followed by the children's trick or treating.
It was indeed a frightfully fun Halloween for us all.
Thank you all for coming and thank you to Mrs. Jan Mann for the stories.
