The Two Steves

Published by Bedford Prep School on Thursday 18th of January 2018

Bedford Prep School pupils were hugely honoured to welcome the Two Steves, otherwise known as Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore, to school on Tuesday 21 November 2017 for their very last public performance together. However, it was far from a sad day – indeed, the only tears shed were those of laughter as the two authors had both boys and teachers in stitches during their three highly entertaining and inspiring sessions. Pupils in Year 3 to Year 6 found out just how fun reading could be when they played a hilarious game show in their sessions, using the I Hero books (and other superheroes) for inspiration. Year 7 and Year 8 boys found out all about ‘How to be an Author’. In their lively and interactive session, the boys learnt how to use their vivid imaginations, their own experiences and real-life adventures in their stories. Steve Skidmore, Bedford Prep School’s Patron of Reading, will be returning on a regular basis to further inspire and, no doubt, entertain the boys.
