Author visit, Bemma Akyeampong

 Author visit

Year 3,4,5,6 were excited to welcome author,  Bemma Akyeampong to Taddington today. She became an author during lockdown; it was something she had always wanted to do. She explained how she also tells stories, teaches music and does dance workshops.









She explained how she had become a published author,  currently writing her 3rd story. All the children were engaged during her telling of one of her stories, Ayuda's messy rescue..








It was interesting to hear how the writing and editing process is a long one, with many drafts, re-writes and discussions, before reaching the final outcome.

Last Forest schools of the year

 To finish the year, the children made bow and arrows, boats, dens, whittled sticks for part of their role play and made swings .

Rightly so, this is well-deserved, Estella .    The Blue Peter Music badge is especially for Blue Peter viewers with a passion for music. I wonder if this Blue Peter badge will inspire more of you to get your recorder/saxophone/violin out to work on your musical skills. It's a really lovely design too. Did you know that with the badge, Estella also received a Blue Peter Badge card to gain FREE access to over 200 Blue Peter Badge Attractions throughout the UK! Keep that card in a safe place Estella. Using maths, reading and problem solving, Leah has been solving mysteries playing her new favourite game, Cluedo. It's one of our family favourites too, Leah. We do love a game of Cluedo!
