Science Nights at Birkenhead School

Science Nights at Birkenhead School went off with a BANG...

Year 4 had a fantastic time welcoming author Lisa Jane Allen to our school on Tuesday! 

Following her inspiring talk to Years 3–6, Lisa led each Year 4 class in a lively workshop where pupils explored how to craft their own stories and brought imaginative characters to life.

It was a real highlight for many children to have their copies of Undercover Angel: Crash Landing personally signed too.

A huge thank you to Miss Rushton for organising such a memorable event!

Fun fact: Lisa lives in Liverpool with her husband, two mini bookworms, and a very hungry black cat named Charlie.

Before becoming an author, she was an award-winning regional business journalist and also spent time working as a college librarian—no wonder she inspires such a love of stories! @lisajallenbook
Please join us for our annual festive celebration, taking place in two weeks time!! The concert will feature performances from our wide variety of music ensembles and is a staple in the calendar for the whole school community. 

We can't wait to see you there! 

Tickets are available on bookwhen.com/birkenheadschool (you can find the link in our bio and story highlights).

Tickets £5 (children free) | Bushell Hall | 15th December, 7pm
