MANTRA WINS TWO AWARDS AT THE EDUCATION SHOW
21-04-2006

The 2006 “Education Show” was held at the NEC in Birmingham,UK. Mantra Lingua’s “Little Red Hen and the Grains of Wheat” won the WOW award given by the National Literacy Association (NLA).The book “caught the panel’s attention because of its sumptuous illustrations with their determined and joyful appeal which give the familiar text a resonance. Witty, with a juggling cat and a duck on stilts, this will be a favourite in primary classrooms.There is a helpful list of keywords in translation in every edition, so you get a literacy resource for two languages, great for multilingual classroom.

From the Archives Part I March 19, 2007

This is the first post in a series of work from my archives, older stuff that predates this blog.

The work below I did at college, it was for a Grimm’s fairy tale called The White Snake.



This image actually won an award, I was given a Highly Commended in the Macmillan Children’s Book Awards 2003. I went all the way to Birmingham to be presented with a certificate and some money (I think), and to see my work exhibted with the other entrants.

MANTRA WINS TWO AWARDS AT THE EDUCATION SHOW 21-04-2006

The 2006 “Education Show” was held at the NEC in Birmingham,UK. Mantra Lingua’s “Little Red Hen and the Grains of Wheat” won the “WOW!” award given by the National Literacy Association (NLA). The book “caught the panel’s attention because of its sumptuous illustrations with their determined and joyful appeal which give the familiar text a resonance. Witty, with a juggling cat and a duck on stilts, this will be a favourite in primary classrooms. There is a helpful list of keywords in translation in every edition, so you get a literacy resource for two languages, great for multilingual classroom. Mantra Lingua also won the 2006 EDUCATION RESOURCES AWARD given by BESA for their very innovative “Story Props” range of resources. Story Props work on the basis of extending the learning that can arise for a single story. For example, based on the book “The Buskers of Bremen” the props will include an “interactive literacy” CD Rom for KS1 English, a Board Game, a set of soft toys of characters in the book, an audio CD retelling the story in various language and a big book for whole class teaching. Story props are great for matching various learning styles and extend a simple story to numerous learning uses. (BESA is British Education Suppliers Authority and is the prominent representative of the Education Publishing world.)
