Travel 3000 years into the past and journey with Tippy Tippy Tep Tep… into the Afterlife! High Priest Amron will be your guide as you follow Tippy Tippy Tep Tep on his final, most wondrous journey... You’ll hear the tale of the first mummy then discover Egyptian beliefs of life and death as you help write spells for Tippy’s Book of the Dead that will overcome oceans of fire and terrifying animal headed gods as he heads to the Field of Reids … Historic themed storytelling that fires the imagination of young learners to discover how people lived and died in ancient times.
Tam O’Shanter, A Horse’s Tale !
The year is 1790 and Rabbie Burns has fallen on hard times… but then he has an idea for his greatest poem ever! Taking inspiration from the supernatural stories of his mother’s cousin auld Betty Davidson, Rabbie weaves a tale of suspense and frights!
