Author visit – Thursday 25th January

We are delighted to inform you that on Thursday 25th January we have an author visiting school to talk to our Year 7 students. The visiting author is Sophie Anderson, who created The House with Chicken Legs, which our students have been studying since October. Sophie will be giving a presentation about her inspiration for the book and her life as an author, as well as spending some time answering questions from the students. This will take place in the Main Hall, during period 4 on Thursday. Please remind students to go to their Period 4 lesson as normal, and their class teacher will walk them down to the hall.

Sophie Anderson has also very kindly offered to stay behind at lunch time to sign any copies that the students may have of any of her novels. If you do have any copies of these texts at home, please send them into school with the student, and we will ensure that these get signed by the author.

We are thrilled to be able to offer this experience to our students.
