School visitor is Korking success
6:27pm Tuesday 13th May 2008
Children from an Oxford primary school were given a treat today when illustrator Korky Paul dropped in to open their new kitchen.
Pupils at New Marston Primary School got the chance to speak to the world famous illustrator, whose work includes Winny the Witch and Pirates.
He is pictured with Manila Abdurakhmonova, five, and Thomas Farrell, six.
Headteacher Zara Darchambaud said the day was wonderful for the children as many of them were big fans of the illustrator.
She said: "It was great for the kids and Korky was absolutely fantastic."
The school, in Copse Lane, has been without a kitchen since January when its old dining block was demolished to make way for a new children's centre that is due to open in June.

Eye, Cap'n: A Roger Moore Special
It’s hard to believe that Sir Roger Moore is 80 because he’s as sharp as a knife and as self-mocking as ever.
United go down to narrow defeat
Altrincham 1 (Little 64), Oxford Utd 0 OXFORD United paid for not turning dominance into goals as they fell to a sucker punch at Moss Lane on Sunday.
KISS BAR, PARK END ST, OXFORD
Kiss Bar is next to Lava & Ignite on Park End Street, and I’m guessing that not everyone will have set foot there before. This is more because it’s so tiny rather than being any reflection of how good it is.
Status Quo (supported by Luke White) @ the New Theatre
Swaying back and forth in unison to the riffs bouncing off their guitars, you know what to expect with Status Quo. Even if they have become a bit overused in the past 40 years, cliches have a golden core. For many bands, repeatedly playing their successful songs becomes a kind of purgatory ending in a refusal to even listen to their hit singles any more, let alone play them. But this five-piece never seem to tire of their best tracks, and their infectiously energetic live performance got their loyal middle-aged fans shaking the body parts they forgot they had.
