Author Visit
This week we were very lucky to host a visit from the exciting children’s author, Lindsay Galvin. After working many years as a teacher she is now a full-time writer. Her interest in the natural world, science, history and myth shines through in her stories. Blending fact and fiction, her unique historical stories combine meticulous research with high stakes storylines, heart-warming friendships and elements of the mythical and mysterious.
Lindsay loves to explore the relationship between animals and humans, placing her beloved characters in perilous situations and atmospheric settings. Afterwards pupils could meet the author and choose a book to be signed. We learnt how her real-life experiences and news items are often the launch pad for a new idea or theme.
We were also pleased to be joined by Year 5 from Skinners’ Temple Grove and their teachers “Y5 loved the visit and we were so grateful for the way we were looked after!”
