Living and Learning – Me and My Community Week – Grandad Wheels

Friday 08 November 2024

On Wednesday, the children enjoyed a fantastic and hilarious visit from Grandad Wheels, author, Brian Abram.

Brian, ‘Grandad Wheels’, delivered assemblies where he shared his story, told jokes and made us all laugh, as well as discussing what life is like in a wheelchair.  We enjoyed listening to ‘Chaos at Cheapfoods!’. At the end of the assemblies, Brian set the children the challenge of designing a new wheelchair.

After reading a story to the Reception children in the school library, Brain visited each class so the children could share their designs. He was really impressed.

Thank you to FOSP for funding this wonderful visit.

Thank you to everyone who ordered a book from Brain – in total, £254 was raised through book orders – Brian puts this money towards two charities that support spinal injury.
