Visit to Leigh Stationers Primary Academy

 


I was recently cloathed in the Livery of the Stationers and Newspaper Makers, and one of my first actions as a liveryman was to visit Leigh Stationers Primary Academy, to talk about books and Greek myths. It was a lovely visit, and the children wrote some excellent pieces in response to Perseus and Medusa, and also made their own quests.
