Matthew


A long time back he wrote a poem about Blue Peter (a children's TV show which he loves to watch) and sent it to them. Weeks later he made his annual and sent then a copy as it had a page all about them. Well, months later he received a letter saying he hadn't sent all the relevant details for them to send him a badge - he jumped, shouted and whooped. He immediately sent the information and waited every day for the post to come. Eventually a letter addressed for Matthew arrived - it was the much wanted Blue Peter badge. The badge was taken to school, family were shown it, or phone calls were made to tell people about it. We were so proud for him. Weeks later another letter from Blue Peter arrived and Matthew tore it open to find another badge - this time a silver one. It was sent because he has sent two things in to them and they said they were very impressed with his work. He was so proud.


I don't know anybody who has ever won a Blue Peter badge. As a child I longed for one - not that I ever done anything to be awarded one for!
