A busy week started off with students and teachers dressing up as their favourite character from a book. A fun Assembly gave everybody the chance to enjoy all the costumes.
The week continued with visits from authors Holly Thompson, Gus Gordon and Anjali Mittal who held workshops and met with different year groups.
We also welcomed Wendy Wan-Long Shang, author of “The Great Wall of Lucy Wu”, one of the 20 Battle of the Books titles for this year. A signed copy of her latest book “This is Just a Test” will soon be available at JL Primary library for students to enjoy.
The students had a great week – read some of their comments below:

I really liked Gus Gordon visiting us. I loved his books and his drawings are amazing! He is so good at what he does. I hope that one day I can draw just like him. Kayla

I really likes Gus Gordon’s books because I liked how he added different material to his pictures. Charlie
Anjali Mittal’s inspiration for writing some of her stories was Kenya. She showed us pictures of the safari animals. She made me want to write more stories. Sanjana
