Author Engagement

Mini Grey

At the start of the autumn term, class 2W received some post from their class author Mini Grey. They were really excited to read the questions and answers. The children are now looking forward to writing Mini Grey some more questions after reading some of her wonderful stories!

Katherine Rundell

On Wednesday 18th September, our Year 6 children took part in a live author session with the wonderful Katherine Rundell (Rooftoppers, The Explorer). This was an excellent opportunity to learn about the process of writing a book for a specific audience from a world-famous writer. We enjoyed meeting Katherine and taking part in the lesson.

Turell - It was interesting when she talked about climbing on the roofs and how she always used real experiences in her books. I also liked that she used her imagination to say that someone may have been living on the roof because of a bottle she found. 

Tegan- The story she told about the man walking on the tightrope and how it inspired her and how she switches off from the world when she does it. I like how focused she is when she writes stories and includes things about her life.
