One afternoon Maia was visiting the School Office. We noticed she was wearing a bright purple Blue Peter Badge. We were all very interested to hear how she got it as we had NEVER got one when we were younger and had always wanted one!

Maia got the Blue Peter badge for writing a review of the programme. She told them that her favourite part was when a boy did some football tricks. Maia hopes to get another badge. Maybe it will be a green or blue one the next time.
