Year 5 visit from author, Joffre White
On Monday the 7 November, the local author, Joffre White, came to visit Year 5 for the morning. He talked about his latest book, 'Frog' and inspired the children with his energy and enthusiasm, encouraging them to follow their dreams and to never lose their imagination. He also spent some time leading a story writing skills workshop. The pupils all had a great time and many chose to purchase one of his books, which he then signed for them.
