Dragon tales at Tinsley
The director of Meadowhall Centre held sessions with pupils at Tinsley Meadows Primary School, reading from the children’s book How to Train Your Dragon which is one of the books forming part of the school’s current literacy programme.
The school was also delighted to receive a further 35 copies of the Cressida Cowell classic to add to their library, as a community donation from Meadowhall.
