Joan Lennon and her Furry Ferrets Visit Wardley
Joan Lennon, author of The Ferret Princess and Wag and the King, visited our school last Thursday. Throughout the day, Joan conducted workshops with years 3,4 and 5 in the school library. She promoted her new book: The Mucker's Tale, which is due to be published in the new year. It was an amazing event which has encouraged and inspired children in KS2 to read more of her books. Read on to find out how much fun we had!
Joan began by explaining where her ideas come from. The Ferret Princess was inspired by her love of ferrets. Year 3 and 4 got to meet all of them!
Next we met Wag, a dog who tries to keep his master out of trouble.
During the workshop, we showed Joan some of the work that we had been doing in class about The Ferret Princess. This included diary entries, letters and book reviews. Joan was so impressed that she requested we scan some of our work so that she can post it on her website.
At the end of the day, Joan signed copies of her books. Everyone was eager to read them. Extra copies have been ordered and should arrive in school soon.

I really enjoyed it when Joan Lennon came, it was very fun and entertaining, the best bit was when Emily held 12 ferrets! Joan signed my book. I like Joan Lennon's book, "the ferret princess'' because it made me giggle in my head...

As a working mum, Id like to thank the headmaster and the staff for making a huge effort and keeping the school open during the bad weather.
A special thank-you goes to the caretaker who must have spent hours clearing the paths.
