Derby Book Festival


On Thursday June 15th pupils from years 2.3 and 4 were invited to The Derby Book Festival to experience an audience with  Philip Reeves and Sarah McIntyre. The children were captivated by the enthusiasm and energy of the authors and very much enjoyed learning to draw and rollercoaster and listening how to plan out a story using pictures. In the afternoon pupils from years 5 and 6 were fascinated by the audience with Marcia Williams and gained great insight into how she researched and composed her books. Thank you everyone who organised the event as it is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to get to meet authors and listen to their stories.
