18th December 2024 I SO enjoyed my school visit to meet Riley Class just before Christmas! This was the third time I've visited Hillyfield Primary and they are always so lovely and wonderful!! This is what they had to say...... 'What a way to end the term! Riley class had the honour of meeting the amazing Claire Freedman via a virtual school visit!! She read her new book Dragons Love Underpants! And we loved it!  We have been so inspired by Claire, our favourite author this half-term! We decorated underpants for her and some children shared their books for their writing for pleasure project. I think we might have some budding authors and illustrators!! Thank you, Claire for such a wonderful experience!!! Nursery Hill and Riley Class  Ms L Blackman Thank you Riley Class and Nursery.

ST KATHERINE'S SCHOOL, CANVEY ISLAND, ESSEX This comes with a huge THANK YOU for the wonderful story time! Mr Cuddles made us chuckle, he is really cheeky and we loved him lots!! The children so enjoyed talking to you and thank you for answering all their questions so kindly. They were SO excited and giggling when you showed them what was inside Max Monster's yucky tuck box! All the children were engaged from start to finish and the teachers thought it was great fun too. Thank you again so much - it was truly fantastic and the children are still talking about the visit!  Love St K's Reception Class x R. Barnard, St Katherine's, Essex

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

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.
