Festival Day

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a children’s author. I love having fun in the summer time and I am excited to share my day all about celebrating summer with my festival day!

 

First, we will be finding out how we can create our very own festival bunting. It wouldn’t be a festival without some music. Come and join in the fun with my Dad, Steve and sister, Maria as they perform for us and Eva and Gracie show us how to dance in true festival spirit! Then we will be sharing some fun, festival face painting.

 

Afterwards we will be cooking up some tasty festival food on the barbecue. Look out for some festival games you can play using recyclable bottles. Finally to finish the day we will be settling down to my story, ‘The Mole and the Sunflower’.
