Alec will soon become Patron of Reading for Tinsley Meadows Primary Academy, Sheffield.
Alec met staff of Tinsley Meadows on 21st September 2017 to plan this exciting venture. He talked to Head Teacher Mrs Deborah Sanderson and Assistant Head Mrs Jenna Jina about some of the ways in which his two-year appointment could help the school encourage children to enjoy stories and poems, and to read for pleasure.
While he was there, Alec took the opportunity of running storytelling sessions with Early Years children (right).
Alec’s time as Patron for Tinsley Meadows will start with a storytelling visit on World Book Day, 1st March 2018, when he’ll tell stories and share poems with groups across the school.
