Last week, our KS2 children were delighted to welcome award-winning author Chris Smith, best known for Kid Normal and his new The Famous Five adventures.

The children enjoyed an exciting and interactive assembly, where Chris shared fascinating insights into the secrets of writing great stories. They discovered how authors develop their ideas and even had the opportunity to create their own imaginative stories.

Following the assembly, our Reading Ambassadors were invited to a special signing session in the library, where they had the chance to chat with Chris and have their books signed.

We were especially proud to hear Chris say that he loved visiting our school and that our library is one of the most impressive he has ever seen. It was a truly inspiring visit that has encouraged many of our pupils to read, write and let their imaginations soar!
