Tales of Oscar and Ben delight Beamont Primary pupils

The mischievous adventures of Oscar and Ben the cats were brought to life for Beamont Primary pupils.

Author Sean Perkins, who has written and illustrated a series of tales about the feline friends, hosted a reading session at the Warrington school, which is part of WPAT.

"The children enjoyed meeting him and finding out about how he became an author and the inspiration behind some of his wonderful books", said Natalie Badley, Acting Deputy Headteacher.

"Sean had the children mesmerised and fully engaged by bringing his story to life with puppets. Both children and staff alike found the visit very entertaining and Sean had the children giggling and smiling throughout.

"He brought his guitar along with him and had the children singing along with him to end the session"

The children certainly enjoyed the visit. Year 2 pupil Theo said "I liked his song and his book - it was just great", while Esemae who is in Year 4 enthused "He actually had the characters with him. You had to poke them to wake them up and then the cat was really grumpy."
