As a part of our “Celebrating our Sisters” theme for Black History Month this week, we welcomed Author and School Teacher Sade Fadipe who spent the day with us telling the children about her life both in the UK and in Nigeria and reading passages from her books.
About Sade Fadipe:

Podcast:
During her time with Year six, we setup our recording equipment and created a podcast of her workshop with our very well behaved and well mannered children who asked some great questions at the end. To hear the podcast, please click on the play button below.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Sade for coming in today and sharing her life and her work with us. It was a joy to hear your story and to listen to your journey.
