We are so excited that our Y6 children won the maths through stories competition hosted by National Literacy Trust and RWMDoncaster. As prize winners, we worked with Phil Sheppard to bring our story to life! Presenting, ‘Someone’s up to no pud!’ Exceed Learning Partnership youtu.be/CAg-xfTJUFA

This year our properties will host 58 Santa’s grottoes and 2 Mother Christmas story times. The Mother Christmas reading events are not new. The world may have gone mad but I don’t think this has been caused by 2 children’s reading events.

I am now taking bookings for World Book Day week (W/C 3rd March) in the Doncaster/S Yorks area. It's going to be fun! I offer a storytelling show, draw-alongs and workshops. Message me on here, or go to philshepp.com !

It’s now painfully obvious Brexit hasn’t worked, and is actively harming us economically. (It didn’t even control our bloody borders!) Given the British people would clearly vote overwhelmingly to go back into the EU, we should have another referendum.

Thrilled that my books have been given star position in store… thank you Waterstones Doncaster 📚☕ 🙂📚

WORLD BOOK WEEK! We love reading so much we’ve extended our sharing of the love of books with each other for the whole week! On Monday, it was great to have Phil Sheppard visit us during #wbd week. The children had such a wonderful day!! 🧵 Phil Sheppard

His storytelling show which involved: a short talk about being an author and illustrator and performances of some of his stories, captured the interest and imagination of children across all ages!

Huge thank you to Phil Sheppard for visiting our school for world book day. The children thoroughly enjoyed it. 📕
