Kite fun at the library
When we don the storyteller hat, we turn children into readers and transform the library into a community space. Oh how we enjoyed the delightful story ‘Farmer Falgu Goes Kite Flying’ by Chitra Soundar and Kanika Nair, from Karadi Tales. Stunning illustrations, interesting sounds and of course a catchy story. And how can the storytime end without the kite making activity? Our little champs made some charming kites and colored them too.

HelenO’Grady International Drama @Schoolkutti
Fun and inspiring drama classes by HelenO’Grady International in progress at Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library. Lovely to see the children growing in confidence, building new friendships and having a great time.
Drama lessons are fantastic for preparing students to live and work in a team-orientated world as they learn vital skills such as tolerance and empathy. Skills that are learned studying drama with Helen O’Grady Drama Academy are invaluable in later life.
