Here's teacher \u003Cb>Mrs John\u003C/b> (Shanaz John) who looked after us (thanks, Shanaz!), and drew this rather splendid picture of Pedro along with us. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1340762_original-0e02bc7316.jpg\" width=\"550\">\\r\n\\r\nMy co-author Philip Reeve took this picture of me warming up my drawing skills with a picture of Fledermaus on the flipchart before we started the all-school assembly. If any of the children (or staff, or parents) would like to learn how to draw more characters, check out our \u003Ca href=\"http://adventuremice.com\">Adventuremice.com\u003C/a> website, or my \u003Ca href=\"https://jabberworks.co.uk/books/\">Jabberworks\u003C/a> website! \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1340655_original-18329134b7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nPhilip and I presented award certificates to children who had been shortlisted for the BBC 500 Words writing competition, and to children who had won a school-wide writing competition. Huge congratulations to all the winners, and to everyone who took part! \\r\n\\r\nI was a bit rubbish at taking photos this time, this is the only picture I got this morning, of a staff lounge biscuit jar. ...But look at it, what a classic. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/1341182_original-d65ec3c1e5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\\r\n\\r\nThanks to everyone who drew along with us, and to Nigel and Claire at Totnes's local \u003Ca href=\"https://www.eastgatebookshop.co.uk/\">East Gate Bookshop\u003C/a> for supplying so many books for us to sign.
