We were visited by Emilie last week and the pupils were completely engaged with her speech for the entire session and have taken away some fantastic ideas to get involved with their own poetry writing. She was professional and had a brilliant rapport with pupils straight away.

We really enjoyed our visit from Lou. She was incredibly accommodating and agreed to work with all of our year groups. Teachers reported that the children really enjoyed the workshops, and many were so excited about the ideas that she gave them that they wanted to continue writing their stories at home! It was a great day and she inspired us all.

An was an excellent choice as a visiting author to enhance our Book Week activities. Our younger pupils were enthralled by her stories and storytelling and loved watching her illustrate. Our older pupils found her presentation about animation very inspiring. A fantastic day.

Joseph was absolutely wonderful with the children. He was very interesting to listen to and the children absolutely loved his talk and reading of his stories. They loved that he was an illustrator too and the workshop was amazing. The children all created wonderful drawings of Marvin and Mollie which they were very proud of and carried on completing in the classroom. Thank you Joseph, we hope you will be able to come back again.

John visited our primary school during the week of world book day. He was very flexible and worked with children from early years to year 5. Having spoken to the children, it is clear that they thoroughly enjoyed John’s workshops involving making pop up books in small groups. They then went back to class and asked to finish them. The finished pop up books really do look incredible and the staff and children have learnt many new skills.
