Year 5 and 6 had a fantastic time visiting the Literature Festival in Cheltenham last week! They were lucky enough to meet the fabulous author Hari Kumar - Rashmi Sirdeshpande, who brought her stories to life in a truly engaging session. Some enthusiastic volunteers even had the opportunity to join her on stage and help bring the characters to life!
They also enjoyed listening to the incredible Richard O’Neill, a sixth-generation Romani storyteller, who shared memories of his childhood growing up on a farm. He captivated us with his imaginative storytelling, showing us how real-life experiences and a little imagination can create truly wonderful stories.
It was a brilliant experience for everyone, inspiring our young readers and writers and reminding us all of the magic of books, stories and imagination!
Years 3 and 4 were delighted to welcome Ryan Crawford, author of the Cosmic Cadets books, for an exciting and inspiring visit at the Cheltenham Literature Festival on Friday!
Ryan shared fascinating stories about his childhood, his journey to becoming an author and where he finds inspiration for his writing. The children then had the opportunity to let their imaginations run wild by creating their very own aliens and designing exciting missions for them, from hunting for hidden treasure to exploring distant planets!
The session ended with a fantastic question-and-answer opportunity, where the children eagerly asked Ryan all about his books and life as an author. To make the visit even more special, Ryan very kindly gifted every pupil a copy of one of his books. What a wonderful experience that has hopefully inspired some budding young authors!

Year 1 and 2 loved meeting the author and illustrator behind the 'Little People, BIG DREAMS' series on Friday at the Cheltenham Literature Festival. 🌟
They learnt the series’ theme tune, listened to the story of Julia Donaldson and even became illustrators themselves, creating their very own drawings! 🎨✏️
