What’s on in June 2019
‘THE KEY MASTER’ a Junior AliCaT Production
“Oh no! Not another supply teacher!” say the children. But their lesson is far from boring, as their history teacher transforms into the quirky Keymaster and takes them on a colourful journey through time. When they finally get the key to the future, they are alarmed. They see for themselves that today is tomorrow’s history, and realise that things need to change!

Monsters in the Attic!
So apparently there ARE MONSTERS in the attic! Whilst clearing out the attic for the leaking roof to be fixed we came across these fabulous monster heads. Who knew they were living there?

Pre School Story time at AliCaT!
“Scaredy-Cat, Splat!” by Rob Scotton (bestselling author of SPLAT THE CAT, LOVE SPLAT, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS, SPLAT!)
It’s Halloween and Splat is determined to be the scariest cat in the class. Unfortunately he’s just too much of a scaredy-cat. He’s afraid of a little spider, and everyone says his costume looks more silly than scary. But when the lights go back on after a ghost story in the dark, the entire class is scared silly by a small, black, furry creature with a big pumpkin head…who can it be?
