to the story
tent.

Each week a particular country or theme is explored
and the backdrops to the Story Tent reflect this theme.

Jane also uses various props and puppets to help her tell the stories.

There are always plenty of toys and artifacts
from around the world for children to investigate, feel and
play with.

Arts and crafts are also an important part of
each session, and again activities reflect the country or theme in
question.

in the fun in the global Story Tent each Friday between 10am and 12pm.
