Local author Richard Mayers visited Townsend on Wednesday to deliver a creative workshop to some students in years 7 and 8 who have been working particularly well in English this term.
Students were introduced to Richard's two books, Spikez and Making Trakz, written about cyborgs made from animals, and had a presentation/discussion about animal testing and rights of animals. They were then asked to create their own cyborgs, with designs being presented at the end of the session.
Students thoroughly enjoyed creating their own concepts and designs throughout the afternoon and we thank Richard for his time visiting us!
