Reading News

Year 6 had lunch with Michael Morpurgo and Katherine Rundell today! 

They watched a live webinar that was put on by the Royal Society of Arts during their lunchtime, listening to a live Q&A from both authors. 

Year 6 will be studying Katherine's book "The Explorer" later this year, where they will write about being lost in the Amazon jungle! This was a great opportunity to find out more about the author that has written the book and to find out more about her and her writing. The pupils were so enthused by Katherine's new book "Impossible Creatures," that they have asked Mrs Montague to order some copies for the class, which of course she has agreed to! 

Our pupils will also come across texts by Michael Morpurgo whilst studying WW2 as their History topic this year too - plus we have plenty of his books in the library to read for pleasure! It was wonderful to hear more about how both authors craft their work and to hear their passion and enthusiasm for writing! We feel very inspired!
