A popular children s author has recorded a special assembly for infant schoolchildren as part of the 2021 St Albans Sustainability Festival.
Ellie Jackson reads her book, Hunter’s Icy Adventure, in one of three downloadable school assemblies to support learning during SustFest21 Schools Week from May 24-28.
The writer s previous books include Duffy’s Lucky Escape which helps to educate children about the impact on plastics on ocean ecosystems. Her latest book, recorded for the festival assemblies, is about a polar bear facing climate change.
She said: “Like my other Wild Tribe Heroes books, Hunter’s Icy Adventure is a story conveying a serious message but with a happy ending. It has beautiful illustrations by Laura Collwood. I hope my assembly brings the Sustainability Festival to the attention of children and parents across the district and encourages them to join in.”
