What are National Parks?

 National Parks are outdoor areas which are protected under Government Acts so they can be enjoyed by the public for free. They are not only green areas but they can also be areas of sea or freshwater.

These lovely parks are there to protect both wildlife and their habitats as well as the areas of natural beauty. 

During the lesson, the children focussed on The Lake District which is one of the 15 parks in the UK.

We were introduced to the characters that appear in Mokee Joe - the good, the bad and the ones in between! We discovered the characters of Hudson Brown, Molly and Ashley - who try to bring Mokee Joe down.  The stories were set in different parts around the world and each bringing more adventure, problems and villains with it.   The children were captivated and laughed, clapped, gasped and were in awe of the stories.  They were a credit! Pete said that they were "an amazing audience" and that he would love to come back and work tell them more of his stories!  There is still time to send in some money for books - £5 each / a complete set of 6 for £30 (he has said that there will be no more Mokee Joe's).  Please send any ...
