On Wednesday 24^th September, the children in Years 1 and 2 were treated to a very special morning - they met a real-life author!  Abie Longstaff visited the school to share her story Little Bad Wolf, captivating the children with her animated storytelling, complete with props, character voices, and interactive moments.  The children were thrilled to become story detectives, tasked with spotting clues in the illustrations to predict what might happen next.  Abie also spoke about her creative process as an author, explaining how she comes up with ideas and builds her stories.

 

Together with Abie, the children planned a new story inspired by Jack and Jill.  Using visual prompts, they imagined what might have happened at the top of the hill to cause Jack and Jill’s tumble and their ideas were fantastic!  Abie was genuinely impressed by their creativity.  Some lucky children even had the chance to meet Abie personally and have their pre-ordered books signed - a memorable moment for all involved.  The children were excellent ambassadors for the school throughout the event - well done, everyone!  A big thank you to Miss Lasenby and the Schools Library Service for organising such a wonderful experience.
