24 Jun Year 5 – Author Event
Year 5 experienced a virtual author event with Phil Earle. He explained how he became a published author and the battle he faced as a young boy, growing to love reading. The session was also an opportunity to hear Phil read extracts from his books: ‘When the Sky Falls’ and ‘When the Storm Rages’.
Pupil voice:
- I have enjoyed listening to you because when I’m older I might become an author of comic books or even novel books – Teo
- I love reading When The Sky Falls because I could just read it and get lost in it. I sadly finished it and am now waiting for my teacher to finish While The Storm Rages. I’ve only read one of Phil’s books but I am already hooked- Ollie
- The event encouraged me to read more often, even though I don’t always enjoy reading – Musab
- The event was so good, it has inspired me to write my own book one day – Elisha
