We had the very enthusiastic Dan Freedman for an Author Visit on the 7th March and were so thrilled with the author talk that took place. Our year 7 pupils found him so engaging and were excited to have the opportunity to meet with Dan. Dan Freedman's talk was very inspiring to our pupils and since the talk we have many inquiries in the Library to loan his books which has inspired them to read.

We found Ian very responsive prior to our visit and flexible to meet the needs of our school. On the day of his visit, the children thoroughly enjoyed his sessions that were pitched appropriately to the age spread across the school. Thank you Ian 🙂

Hi.
Jason was excellent. The children loved his assembly in which he combined reading parts from his books with hilarious slapstick comedy. Although the workshops were good, I think the children would have liked more drama. We will definitely invite him back again. He made everyone smile from the start to the end.

We were delighted to welcome Karen George to our school! The children were captivated by her storytelling and inspired by her journey as an author and illustrator. Karen brought an incredible energy to the workshops, engaging students with fascinating and powerful messages from her stories along with amazing drawing activities that brought the stories to life. It was a fantastic experience that sparked a love for reading and creativity in our young learners. The excitement in the room was palpable as children eagerly asked questions and shared their own imaginative ideas. We can't wait to have her back for another inspiring visit!

Ian engaged my Year 8s as he delved into his world of fantasy with goblins and mystery. He was so accommodating, being available to meet ahead of the sessions to ensure everything ran smoothly. He gave my pupils good tips for the writing process which he worked through with them. They particularly enjoyed his reading of key parts of his story. Ian's material suits a more mature audience, and he was willing to answer questions and engaged well with my pupils.

Zehra's visit to our school was wonderful. She was well-organised, friendly and passionate about sharing her journey as an author and illustrator to inspire young readers. The children were so excited to meet Zehra and loved the opportunity to ask questions about her stories. They were also thrilled to take part in her draw-along workshops and produced some beautifully creative illustrations as a result. Thank you so much Zehra, we hope to see you again soon!

Kimberly was great to work with. We asked her to make some last minute changes and she was really flexible. She was great with the young people.
