An Exciting Visit with an Author
We were thrilled to invite local author, Keith Hatton, to our school on Monday 11th November. He shared his love of books and his journey of becoming a writer during our assembly, inspiring many of us to write our own books. We are never too young or too old to start! He then ran interesting writing workshops for Key Stage Two during the day.
The highlight of the day was the book signing event after school, when many of us got to meet the author, buy a signed book and receive a packet of Stan's seeds, a character in Keith's latest book Nature Boy. What a great day! Thank you, Keith, for sharing your ideas and books with us.
Have a look at some of our reflections:
Sofia: "I really enjoyed meeting Keith because I love his book Nature Boy. It is based on his life when he was younger, which is really cool!"
Frankie: "During the visit, we went on a nature hunt and explored the outdoors -- this helped us to gather vocabulary and was really fun!"
Isaac: "I really liked being visited by Keith. His books were amazing; they are funny and have captivating front covers!"
Emmeline: "I really like Keith's books because they are really interesting. Buying my own and having it signed by a real author made me want to do lots of writing myself!"
