Can't believe it , Henry has got a Blue Peter Badge.

About two months ago when we first started Home Education, we did Poems and Henry made a poem. We sent it to Blue Peter (his favoraite programme).

Last week a letter arrived with a Blue Peter Ship on the front and BBC, Henry was away with his Dad, so I couldn't find out the contents :huh: for about 3 days. Any way he opened it pulled out the letter very calmly and said "Nope, no badge" then the badge plopped out on to his lap and he just grabbed it it and started running around screaming " I got a blue peter badge". He is very pleased, siblings are a little green with envy.

thats lovely really happy for your DS

how wonderful, I'm jealous

oooh, now he can get into all sorts of places free (seriously, thats pretty useful as a HE'r, so much more useful than those naffy EO discounts).

Big congratulations to him.

(But couldn't you have...ahem...prodded the envelope a bit? God, I think I'd have opened it )

Sadly at the moment their free admission scheme has been suspended due to cheats.

cheats? is there a black market in blue peter badges?

Think they were being sold on ebay?

Well done to your DS :)

There were adulta and much older children drawing pictures etc and pretending to be 6 year olds, so they could get a badge and sell it on ebay.

Here is the like to Blue Peter website item about it.

Peace & Happiness,

Congratulations to your boy, tensing!

Sad that BP had to withdraw the benefits but look, they have a solution! (and someone got a badge for thinking of it, lol!)

Wow! Congratulations to your son

congrats to your son, thats soooo cool

sad to hear about people trying to cheat blue peter

Cheating to Blue Peter is very wrong, I would have been relly upset if this had happened when I was achild, I loved Blue Peter.
