The Storytelling Cave

So, yesterday was very exhausting but quite fun. The members of the Redathon team were supervising a storytelling tent, in addition to running a facepainting session. Despite being rather secluded from the rest of the building, and thus not being noticed by as many people as we would have liked, we read stories to quite a few children, in addition to turning some into dogs, pirates and butterflies. The favourite stories seemed to be Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes, and I think the members of our group enjoyed the reading as much as the children. Catherine, Harriet and Lucy were great at reading to the children, and Lucy went as far as to sing some lines from 'The Giraffe, Pelly and I'.

We all enjoyed Vicki's face painting skills, and all of us were looking distinctly different than we usually do.

I came as a pirate.

It was good fun, but as I said, we were all very tired at the end of the day, so unfortunately were unable to attend Nexus Art Cafe's pyjama party. However, we should hear from them soon, will keep you all updated! Hope everyone who took part has enjoyed the readathon, and if you want to comment or let us know what you read, please email us on the official mail or post on the Facebook group.
