Alice in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, is one
of the most famous children's books in the world. It is the
story of a little girl called Alice who has all sorts of extraordinary
adventures after she follows a white rabbit down his rabbit
hole. Alice meets Dodo, a duchess, the King and Queen of Hearts,
a grinning Cheshire Cat up a tree and lots of other strange
characters.
If you don't know the story, you can read it on-line at www.bedtime-story.com/bedtime-story/classics-alice-1.htm,
or, most libraries will have a copy of the book.
At Kids' Gallery, we will be performing a show about Alice
in Wonderland in March. You can be in the show if you are
enrolled in one of the following courses: Ballet, Guildhall,
Modern Dance, Musical Theatre, Performing Circle, Singing,
Speech & Drama and Trinity.

Lewis Carroll loved creating word puzzles, in particular doublets.
Doublets involve starting with a word and, by changing one
letter at a time, ending up with another word. For example,
DOG to CAT--can you do it?

 Hi,
I’m Bernita. I’m writing to give you guys some comments.
I think that the paper should have something for the older kids to make. I like how there are facts in the paper, but the older kids’ part needs activities, instead of just reading about books.
Bye!
