TREGADILLETT Primary School is celebrating Storytelling Week by focusing on raising the profile of boys’ reading.

Local sporting heroes were invited into school to share their love of reading and to read a particular favourite to the boys and girls.

On Monday Bobby Hopkinson, former professional player and now a sports and participation officer from Plymouth Argyle Football Club, entertained the children by reading to them and he was joined by the club mascot ‘Pilgrim Pete’.

Miss Elouise Noon, the school’s literacy lead, is pleased to be welcoming local author and illustrator, Tom McLaughlin, to the whole school celebration assembly on Friday.
