We are off to see the Wizard….follow the yellow Brick Road into our Storytime space this week and you’re likely to meet munchkins, wizards, witches, tinmen, lions or scarecrows.  Children are dressing up for our Wizard of Oz Storytime theme. Storytime returns this week during the school term at 11am today Tuesday 30 April, Wednesday 1st May at 11am, and Thursday 2nd May at 11am and again at 2pm. If you would like to join in the fun, please book you place on 6393 8132. Storytime is for pre-school age children and their carers. The Wizard of Oz theme is inkeeping with the upcoming Orange Theatre Company’s performance of the The Wizard of Oz. Let’s go Toto…..follow the Yellow Brick Road ( I wonder what Storyteller Fiona dressed up as?)
