Storytime with Póga

What an amazing time was had with Class 11/12 reading Room on the Broom.

🧹 Literal meaning: The witch has a broomstick and keeps offering rides to the animals she meets — a cat, dog, bird, and frog. Each time she asks, “Is there room on the broom for an [animal] like me?” It’s about sharing and making space for others.

  • 💛 Deeper meaning:
  • It celebrates kindness, inclusion, and friendship.
  • It shows that helping others and working together leads to positive outcomes.
  • It gently teaches children about teamwork, acceptance, and problem-solving.

So, “Room on the Broom” means there’s always space to include others — a lovely metaphor for kindness and community spirit.


This was a wag worthy tale of a week and everyone loved it!
