Ocean Alive! Too

Maidenhead's Big Read Festival continued for a second day, on the theme of Ocean Alive! Alice, Roberta and Sheila were there to help host some of the talks, and we were lucky enough to attend some really engaging and informative sessions. Russell Arnott, an amazing Oceanographer and Science Communicator told stories of creatures of the ocean, and held his audience spell-bound. Fiona Barker did a session on whale facts, and had the children (and parents and volunteers) drawing and singing too. Gloria Barnett had tales and videos of her diving adventures, and we finished with Eric Brutnall, a local primary school teacher, reading from his book, with a message about dealing with rubbish responsibly. We all enjoyed being part of this event - thanks to Stephan for inviting us!
