Third Reading 30th April.

I had the pleasure of being invited back to Leigh Academy Bearsted to talk to the children in Year 3 about the illustrations as featured in The adventures of Harry Alliss. 

The children picked three images that they wanted to talk about, as found in the short story: Harry, Aunty Dare and her magical scooter. 

It was joyful to see how much they learned from examining the images in greater detail once they were magnified on the wall-mounted digital monitor. We were then all able to pick out details, which perhaps aren’t so easy to see in the book. 

As an exercise I read out another Harry story that I had written recently, and asked the children to sketch an illustration that they thought would be appropriate for the story line. It was amazing what some of the children created. Budding story writers and illustrators in the making perhaps!

Many thanks to Leigh Academy and the children for another wonderful day. 

Looking to the future, I’m looking forward to going to another school fairly soon. More news to follow.
