Author Visit Take Two!

Philip Ardagh and Elissa Elwick
Author Visit Take Two!

On Wednesday Years 1-4 were treated to a visit from not one but two inspiring people in the world of children's literature.  Philip Ardagh (author) and Elissa Elwick (illustrator) visited the school to spend time with the children.

Philip has written over 100 books and has won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.  Accompanying him was illustrator Elissa Elwick, and the two of them talked about their brand new picture book series, 'Little Adventurers'.   Philip's events are incredibly entertaining and the children were really switched on to his vibrant performance.

Over the course of the afternoon, they read from their new book 'Leafy the pet leaf', drew illustrations for us that will soon be on display in school, made us swear an oath to the Little Adventurers group and signed books.

We were joined by Year 3 from neighbouring school Freegrounds Junior and would like to thank them for joining us for the event.
