Lots of room to move & groove in the Rec Centre

Walter & I have been invited back for a special events day at the Lindsay Recreation Centre's summer camp. Look out kids here we come!!!!!

The Way Back machine

As the  education officer of the Beaverton, Thorah, Eldon Historical Society it is my job to bring our past alive in young minds. We do this through 3 half day sessions. First we explore what Christmas would have been like in the 1840's with Grade 3's in the 3 schools in Thorah Township with a class visit. Fiction & non-fiction books give background information and then students make a cedar bough garland. Before Christmas classes each visit our museum to put up the garlands. They experience an actual log cabin cold and dark as it is and make pomanders to take to class. After christmas comes anothe class visit where we compare past & present gifts. They see actual artifacts, play with pioneer toys we have made and then make a thaumatrope. It is fascinating to see how much they enjoy the simpler toys.

Living the Dream

An amazing Grade 1 class in Trenton at St. Mary's Catholic School! We were movin' and grovvin' for an hour of song, dance, story & Movement

Whitby PL - Rossland branch

Rossland branch is a small, storefront library but size doesn't measure heart. There's always a huge enthusiastic crowd. Thanks, Cheryl, for asking back over and over!!!!!!!

Colborne (Cramhe) PL Year Six

We love coming to Colborne. The kids are always so much fun!!!! Thanks, Barb, for asking us back again.

More Great Shows

Both the Brooklin & Beaverton PLs hosted Walter & I for the TD summer reading program kickoff. We had a small quiet group in Brooklin and a very young and enthuiastic group in Beaverton. Walter was as finicky as ever so I got to try out some new stories and dances!!!!!

Summer Reading Fever in Whitby

Reading interest lagging with the summer heat? Let go of those summer blaas by movin' and groovin' to the beat that Walter lays down while Scott tries to keep up. New songs and stories make this a must attend for all the Whitby PL (Taunton branch) reading club members.

Cramhe PL Musical Adventure

Hey, Colborne. Walter and I love coming to your beautiful library. What a way to kickoff the TD Summer Reading Club but to sing and dance to the groovy beat that Walter lays down. With new songs and stories you are certain to get Tuesday Afternoon Reading Fever.

TD summer Reading Club

Walter and I engage a lively junior audience at the Brooklin (Whitby) Pulblic Library with the aim of enticing them into joining for another year of the fantastic TD summer reading club. Look out Brooklin, here we come with some new songs, dances and stories.

Walter Sticks To It!

A Kindergarten afternoon of song, story, poetry and teaching about the springtime phenomena that is maple syrup. Hope  can play with Sticky Fingers.

Africa Adventure

An amazing time in The Gambia, west Africa. Teachers and students were amazing in light of the lack of everything the school experiences. The Headmistress somehow managed to wrestle me up a guitar (sorry, Walter) which took forever to tune. I came out to all the students sitting in chairs on a very dusty playground. Waded right into the middle and began to rock. they really liked The Cat Came Back and joined in clapping and singing the Boom Buppa part. When our daughter, Elicia, visited in February they all wanted to know where boombuppa was. It took her a bit to realize that was their new name for me! An amzing, life-changing experience!

Walter Goes International

Walter & I (along with Mrs. Gardner) are travelling to England during December to share Xmas with our daughter, Elicia. We may perform at her school in Stoke on Trent. But, tadaa, we are giving a command performance at 2 primary schools in Gambia the week of Dec 11th to 15th. The schools are part of a support program that Elicia is involved with. We hope to learn as much as we perform. Walter says he hopes these kids can teach me to dance. Thanks, Walter!?!?
