One of Orkney’s head teachers was far from blue when she realised the efforts two of her pupils had gone to recently.
Sisters Lisamarie and Daniella Mendes, from Kirkwall, knew of Papadale Primary head Wendy Bowen’s childhood enjoyment of the BBC children’s TV programme, Blue Peter, and the long-held wish to have a Blue Peter badge of her own. So, the girls had an idea.
Primary 7 pupil Lisamarie said: “We met Mrs Bowen on the street and told her about the six badges of summer – she said she had always wanted a Blue Peter badge. We decided if we did something big, we could nominate her.
