What a treat for Year 2!

Year 2 children were lucky enough to have a visit from the famous author Ian Whybrow who has written many children's books such as: Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs, Harry and the Robots and Whiff.

Ian spoke about how to plan a story and he gave the children some tips on what to include in their writing. He spoke about how he came up with some of his ideas for his books. The children found out that his grandchildren are lucky enough to listen to his stories before anyone else!

The children also had the pleasure of listening to Ian read two books to them and they interacted with the stories with great enjoyment.
