Yesterday we had a wonderful visit with the talented photographer Doug Allan. Dough is a renowned wildlife photographer who has worked on projects such as The Blue Planet. Dough kindly volunteered to come to visit our school and spoke to each classroom about his travels to the Arctic and Antarctic. This talk also links in well with our Marine Green Schools Theme that we have been busy working on. Dough kindly presented us with his beautiful book and gave us some posters of his images. We are very grateful to Doug for delivering such an interesting talk.
