The assembly was really interactive and enjoyed by all adults and children alike. Feedback from all year groups that took part in workshops was really positive. They were very practical and energetic. The children could not stop talking about them. The book signing was also a lovely idea .

Julia Jarman is an amazing lady. She worked with all age groups - nursery up to year 6. She really brings her books alive. The children found her a real inspiration as she told them their attempts to write do not have to be perfect first time. She was a source of great information about how she writes her books and shared her recipe for writing stories. She took the time after school to not only sign books children had bought but to write a personal message. It was a fantastic day.

John O'Leary visited our school, we thought he was an illustrator but he was much, much more. His books are really beautiful with wonderful pop-up creations. He calls himself a paper engineer. He is so creative and imaginative. He worked with years 3-6 to create their own pop-up book. The children really enjoyed it and produced some fantastic work. We are now purchasing all of his books if we can as I know some of them are out of print. I would highly recommend other schools work with Mr O'Leary.

Dan had all of our KS2 children engaged with his session. The children really enjoyed asking him questions about his writing journey. We even had some budding authors bring in their work for Dan to critique! Thank you Dan for taking the time to listen to our children, sign their books and inspire a next generation of writers!

Thank you so much for such an interactive and engaging session. The children from Year 1 - 4 took part and thoroughly enjoyed your Q&A, story reading and workshops. Your props brought the experience to life and the children were talking about their visit the next day to members of staff.
