Penicuik on parade!

Raring to go: A quick practice

Circus
friends
Thirteen children came to my workshop on July 16th at Penicuik Library.

Storytime was well received. ("When are we getting to hear the rest of the story?")

Circus storytime - creating space; capturing children's imagination

Looking appropriately silly

Dressing up is satisfying

The children especially seemed to enjoy getting dressed up in circus attire; it's always a delight to see!   


Getting skillful...a selection of photo's showing the children developing their skills and getting creative.

Baton twirling

Baton Rolling
Look what I can do!




Super example of 'horses hooves'
- juggling skills

Getting in the groove with a shy little helper
My 1-hour circus themed workshop compliments the summer 'Circus Stars' reading scheme, currently running within the library. There's plenty to engage their imaginations, focus their minds and learn new skills too.
 

...well done! Just like the poster says.

Lemon fanfare
I like to encourage the children to experiment with everyday objects to juggle or balance with...always with permission! Here I am juggling hard lemons -which is how I began juggling. Let the kids get creative and see what they can come up with.
