Taffy Thomas, a storyteller from Grasmere, and his wife Chrissy came into school to tell us some stories. Key Stage 2 children spent an hour with him first then it was the turn of Key Stage 1. Taffy told us some riddles and some stories which some people got to join in with. He then showed us his £4,000 ‘Tale Coat’ and ‘Porky Pie Hat’ which was made by Paddy Killer, a textile artist from Gateshead. Each picture on the coat refers to a story in Taffy's repertoire and some of the children were able to choose a story by pointing at a picture. Each class were also left a picture of Taffy in his coat to colour in.
Finally, Taffy reminded us that if speaking was more important than listening we'd have two tongues and only one ear!

Wow Taffy's coat looks amazing!
