Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

Bubble bubble toil and trouble,
all witches and wizards beware –
be spellbound with our Story time,
we’d love to see you all there!

A real life Witch will be reading Room on the Broom (on Zoom!) by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, so children are also encouraged to dress up in their best witch or wizard costumes at home.

After the reading we’ll come together and make some magic through craft, so make sure to have the below materials ready:

  • A few sheets of black A3 paper or card
  • Tape
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Coloured and plain paper
  • Crafty bits and bobs like pompoms, glitter, stickers
  • Pencils, crayons or textas
