Author Visit

We are very lucky to have the talented Matt Elliot returning to our school for another Author visit. He has asked that we do a little bit of information gathering before he come on Thursday 2^nd June.

Could you please ask a parent or relation for a memory they have of their grandparents 

OR three things their parent / parents / caregivers remember from when they were at school

OR their favourite or coolest place to visit.

Remember to think of your favourite book character and come dressed up on Friday!!!

Describe an airship - plan how your air ship might look - then describe it using language features.

Show, don't tell!

Stealthily it soars through the cool night air. Leafy green sails are bustled along on the evening breeze - not waking a soul as it glides past slumbering windows. The tiny driver creaks the wheel and a duck feather moves to the right sending the airship towards its destination.
