If you’ve been to the Google homepage today you might have noticed that it is the 213th birthday of Frankenstein author, Mary Shelley. To celebrate this a group of children got artsy-craftsy; making masks, colouring in pictures and making cardboard characters. Spooky stuff!

Braveheart
As promised, here is our version of William Wallace from Monday’s craft activity, standing on a heathery moor (or ‘muir’ as it was probably known in his day). We also researched some facts about him here, but because he lived so long ago it is difficult to know what is true about him and what is hearsay!

Today we started work on our Moredun Monopoly project. The plan is to have a big interactive game around the entire library, with different streets represented on squares around the walls. So for example, our Mayfair is Moredun Park Road (which is of course the street the library is on), Fleet Street is Craigour Drive, and rather than visiting people in jail you go to The Royal Infirmary at Little France. Keep your eye on the blog to find out when we unveil the game!
