Today Nicole, the children's librarian at West Norwood Library ran another hugely successful Chatterbooks club (for 7-11yr olds). The theme was poetry and the children showed us how creative they are by the poems they wrote. The poems are displayed in the children's library for you to read. But here is an example of one of them. 🙂

A little sapling plant has been left here at the library. We have been looking after it but it really should go back to its owner who has so carefully planted it. We think it's a tomato plant but it won't bear any fruit in these wee pots! So if Theo, whoever you may be, is out there please come and collect your plants, they need you! 🍅
