Virtual School Visits

We had a virtual session with Claire Freedman, the author. She actually did 3 sessions - for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The children loved it! It was inspiring for them to hear a real author - whose books they were familiar with - not only reading her own work, but talking about how she became an author, and how much she enjoyed her work. 5 out of 5 - amazing. We loved it. Thanks so much. C. Steele  

Some comments from my visit to the wonderful RILEY CLASS   - thank you so much for having me. I had such great fun meeting you all....... and I was SO impressed by your wonderful artwork and underpants designs!! D uring our visit from @clairefreedman some of Riley Class shared our writing for pleasure project. Claire then shared a book she made when she was a child! Such an inspirational experience. Future Authors in the Making! Riley class had the honour of this half term's favourite author, Claire Freedman, visit the class (virtually). We enjoyed Ms Freedman reading two of her amazing stories and showed her the underpants we designed for her. Thank you! So inspired by our visit from Claire Freedman. One member of Riley class drew their very own Alien that loves....yes! You guessed it! An alien that loves underpants! December 2023

   Please pass on my thanks to Claire for her session on Wednesday. The children loved it and have been talking about it a lot since! Ms L. Simmonds, Willow Primary Academy, Tuffley, Gloucester

  Hi Claire Thank you so much for reading the story to the children, they really enjoyed it! It was  so nice for them to meet the author of one of their favourite books. We are really looking forward to learning through the book over the next week. C. Dyton, St Pierre School, Leigh-on-Sea

Some PANTASTIC work sent in from Class 1 at St Mary's. Thanks to you all! So glad my visit inspired this brilliant funny underpants story, and your pictures were all SO good too! What a talented bunch you all are! The king was going to the coronation. But he had no underpants! King Charles asked Queen Camilla can I borrow some. But the underpants were too frilly. So he asked Prince William can I have your underpants. But they were too big and they fell down! On the way to the coronation the king met brachiosaurus. The brachiosaurus had spotted bloomers. No thanks! Then he met a pirate captain with gold pants. I like your underpants the king said. Can I have them? No the captain said. He waved his cutlass. The king got his sovereign's sceptre to fight the pirate. The king lost his orb in the fight and his sovereign's sceptre. The king had no underpants and no sceptre and no orb! A selection of artwork from the day.

  Claire Freedman, with Reception children during our Space Topic, gave the children an idea of what an author is/does. Great interaction with the children and answered all of their questions. S. Mackenzie
