A hatful of fun

19/11/2010

THE school holidays may be over but that didn’t stop children enjoying the final few days of fun at Endeavour Hills library.
Funny hats were all the rage during the event, with the many books written about headwear being read out aloud.
Songs and poems were also sung aloud.
Youngsters in attendance were asked to make a hat of their own using cardboard and other colourful material.
