Windale pupils become illustrators after winning competition Pupils at Windale Primary School have won a competition to illustrate the endpages of the new 'Looking for Wilbur' children's book. Illustrator kOrky Paul led an assembly and presented prizes to the children.

KOrky Paul came to Windale!
Children from Windale submitted pictures for the new Winnie and Wilbur adventure, 'Looking for Wilbur'. KOrky chose 26 pictures to be featured in the end pages of the book and those children were given a signed copy of the book and entry to The Story Museum. Windale were given several copies of the book for the library and KOrky made us our own painting of Winnie. Not only was this a lovely celebration but a huge inspiration for all the children.
