Hear how it works from a teacher
Hear about Banjo from experienced primary teacher and former Ofsted inspector, Lizzie Cotton.
Hello - I'm Banjo!
I travel the world visiting exciting places like the pyramids, the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China, sending fun-filled letters to my human friends back home. That’s right, real letters! In the post! Addressed to YOU!
Recently, some teachers asked me to send 3 special letters (and teaching resources) to their classroom, via a thing called DOWNLOAD. They're full of info about the UK, Uganda, Fiji, and the time I got a bit lost in a submarine. I hope you enjoy them!

[Disclaimer: Sometimes Banjo writes his letters with the help of children's authors you may know and love.]
