Derby Libraries Animal Agents Summer Reading Challenge 2017 This year’s Summer Reading Challenge is called Animal Agents and starts on Saturday 15 July.

It’s free to join and children must be members of Derby Libraries to take part.

Illustrated by the UK’s best-selling children’s illustrator Tony Ross, the storyline features a detective agency manned by all kinds of clever animals – furry, scaly and slippery – who are investigating some strange goings-on at the local library and children are invited to help the agents to solve the mystery.

The challenge is for children aged from around 2 to 11 years. To take part, they must read or share six library books during the summer.

They can read any books they like – stories, fact books, picture books - it’s up to them. Audio books and eBooks also count. Everyone who joins gets a colourful fold-up collector folder and a character sticker for every book they read. Each sticker reveals a new clue to help solve the mystery.

When children complete the challenge, they’ll get a certificate and a colourful zip tag featuring artwork from Animal Agents, which can be

attached to bags and pencil cases.

There’s an extra reward for those who read a further four books. Children under four will have their own collector card and stickers with an Animal Agents door hanger as award for completing.

The challenge is supported by a programme of free themed holiday sessions at every library including animal handling shows, performance storytelling, meet the author, themed crafts and coding events.

Children can sign up at any library in Derby from Saturday 15th July.

Taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge helps children become confident and enthusiastic readers and supports their learning at school.

Find more information at your local library or at www.inderby.org.uk/ libraries.

Babyballet Babyballet is a fun, award-winning pre-school dance concept for girls and boys Babyballet dance classes allow babies, toddlers and young children to enjoy the physical and social benefits of ballet, song and dance in a safe, caring, positive and informal environment.

With a focus on learning through play, the unique babyballet syllabus offers four key stages of ballet and tap classes where every child can build their confidence and social skills, learning manners, discipline, and respect while developing their basic ballet technique, coordination,

musicality, balance, posture and rhythm.

Babyballet’s fully qualified, friendly and engaging teachers are joined in class by the babyballet bears, Twinkle and Teddy who help to encourage all the little stars to interact and share as they learn to dance without any pressure.

Give your child the chance to dance at babyballet Derbyshire where there’s always a warm and friendly welcome. www.babyballet.co.uk
