Primary School Visit - St John's, Bollington

Last month, I spent a wonderful afternoon at St John's Primary School in Bollington, Cheshire. I was invited to talk to the school assembly about being an illustrator and designer and about my ongoing development of children's book ideas. I was quite nervous at first, but the pupils were as good as gold and they listened very carefully and put their hands up to ask questions or to tell me their own little stories.

After the assembly, it was activity time with years 4, 5 and 6! I took along my little friend to help me... his name is Bobbin. He is a penguin. He has a Facebook page and everything!

Bobbin was so excited for his big adventure, he packed his little bum bag with all kinds of things that a penguin could need... where Bobbin ended up on his adventures was up to the kids! Here is some of their brilliant work, I was so impressed and inspired by their creative ideas!
