AUTHOR VISIT<br />
On Tuesday 24th September, the English department were very excited to welcome<br />
Kate Mallinder, the author of ‘Summer of No regrets,’ to School. Year seven pupils<br />
were treated to an amusing journey through Kate’s love of books and her inspiration<br />
for writing before hearing about the processes needed to have a book published. Kate<br />
then described to the pupils the different stages of how she creates different ‘voices,’ for<br />
her characters. After being inspired, the pupils then had a workshop for the rest of the day<br />
where they created their own characters with unique ‘voices.’<br />
Some Year 10 pupils also got to meet Kate for a Question and answer session in the Library.<br />
Pupils from all across the school got to meet her and buy her books. It was an excellent day!<br />
We are looking forward to our next author visit from local author Ed Parry, the author of<br />
‘Golem,’ in <strong>November</strong>. These workshops will be with Year 8 but again, all pupils will get the<br />
chance to meet him and buy his brilliant book.<br />
