Spent today at a wonderful primary school a banana’s throw from Marwell Zoo. Owslebury has to be the smallest school I’ve ever visited, but the atmosphere was hugely welcoming and friendly. I had some very useful feedback from the Reception teacher that I plan to combine into future visits to that age group (so thank you), while at the other end of the scale I had great fun doing speedy cartooning with Years 5 and 6. They carried this on in the afternoon session while I was with Years 3 & 4, and the resulting cartoons decorating their posters showed how well they’d taken it all in. Most impressive moment was a ten-year-old asking me if I liked Gerald Scarfe!

Just a quick thank you to Hordle Primary for making me feel welcome yesterday. A lovely school with some very positive and capable children. Good fun had by all!

Well, somebody did. It’s been pointed out there wasn’t a green tea version, so I’ve done one. To get one click here. I suppose now you’ll tell me you take sugar…
