Charlie Wilson Visit

We were so excited to have the storyteller Charlie Wilson return to Mead this week to tell stories to our Reception children. Charlie has been a professional storyteller since 1990 and before that an English teacher. He has visited thousands of schools. The children in Reception were absolutely captivated by the stories that Charlie told. They listened brilliantly to the storytelling parts and loved interacting with Charlie when it was their turn to join in. All the adults said how good it was and how inspirational it was listening to Charlie. A wonderful time was had by all.
