James Harris came to visit our school on Thursday 29th February and was amazing. He delivered a whole school assembly which was very funny. He then did a number of workshops with different classes and all the children had a great time and learnt that anyone can be a writer!

He ran a really fun, informative and engaging assembly for KS1 which inspired a lot of our children to want to become authors. Simon's workshops were also really engaging and even made some of our reluctant writers eager to pick up a pencil and get involved.

Graham was outstanding when he came to visit our school. His talk to our year 7's & 8's about his books was truly inspirational giving them a slice of local history alongside pure imagination and adventure! Our students were captivated and totally engaged by what he had to say. He encouraged them that if they wanted to author a book, just to take the risk and start it and that they could go back and edit their work over and over later if necessary and as their confidence grows. He also encouraged them to take inspiration from their surroundings which he has done to great effect in his own books. Totally brilliant! We loved having him here. Thank you Graham!

We had a lovely day of workshops with Nigel Blackman for our World Book Day celebrations last week. After a highly engaging assembly sharing his illustrations, he spent time with each of our KS2 classes to support their work to create dinosaur drawings based on his book.

The children and staff at Oaks absolutely loved working with Pippa on our World Book Day event. Pippa inspired children with her own stories, ran engaging workshops with children which were inclusive, supportive and challenging for all abilities. We would absolutely love to welcome Pippa back to Oaks in the future to inspire the next generation of authors!

We had a fantastic morning with Maudie, all the children were really engaged and loved seeing her books and where her ideas came from. This was a really useful insight into how writers gain their inspiration.
Thank you for a wonderful morning.
