And The Winning Puppet Dog Name Is...

And the winners are:

Demcee & Maddy B - Congratulations!

On Wednesday 4th March, I announced the winners of the Name The Puppet Dog Competition in a special prize-giving presentation. I'd chosen the name from the list of suggestions sent to me by a class of 8 & 9 year-olds from St Francis School in Berkshire. Woofy presented a book token to each of the winners and then we posed for the press photographer from Ascot News.

Woofy made a special thank you speech to the audience of KS2 pupils in the main hall. After several failed attempts to remember his name, Woody? Woosy? Woolley? We revealed the Woofy balloons and the children sang a Woofy Song to teach him his name.


Thanks to all the staff who sat around the table with me in the staffroom plotting a last minute timetable to involve the whole school. Starting with the pre-school, I went from class to class reading The Quiet Woman And The Noisy Dog, ending up in the class of 10 year-olds already celebrating World Book Day in Victorian Dress.

I don't think I'll forget our visit and I'm looking forward to reading the Victorian Woofy story.

oh and the reason I chose this name?

Woofy is the name of the Noisy Dog in the book!
