Today a very special lady paid a visit to Reception. Pauline Waters, author of ‘Stanley the Seagull’ came to talk to the children all about her job as an author. Pauline read the story ‘Stanley and the Great North Run’ to the children and talked about all of the stages involved in writing and publishing a book. The children asked some very interesting questions and have been inspired to write their own stories! Pauline left the children with one last important message, “everyone can be an author. You just need to start with an idea.”

Thank you Pauline for a wonderful afternoon.

A message from Pauline –

Dear Staff and children
I cannot describe how wonderful it was to talk and listen to you all on Friday. You are inspirational xxx I was just buzzing after my time with you.
Brought back so many happy memories of my teaching years with lovely children.

Thank you and write those stories xxx
