Giants in Grandtully


Friday 27th March and we were in Grandtully Village Hall, beautifully redecorated with a lovely wooden floor, so we had to make sure we did plenty of mopping through the day. Claire told the story of Kitty Ill Pretts, a tale of a feisty girl on the make. After their mother died she and her sisters knocked on the door of the king and asked for a job. When she was asked what she could do Kitty said 'I can turn the moon into cream cheese and take the stars from the sky', modest eh? Anyway the king thought she was worth a try and sent her off to steal the sword of light, a set of silver bells and the most beautiful coverlet in the world from his neighbour, a giant. Being a clever girl Kitty successfully tricked her way through each task and eventually the king married her.


The children from P4 to P7 each made an image from the story and we added them to a colourful background, with a particularly gigantic giant and a sprightly Kitty.
