Author Visit and World Book Day 2025

As part of our celebration of World Book Day we invited superstar author and illustrator Bethan Woollvin to meet our children in Years 1 and 2. Bethan came in to talk about her books and what life is like for her being an author. She gave the children a sneak peak behind the scenes of her exciting work,shared her favourite childhood books and talked about her own amazing books. She shared her delightful, girl power twist, fairytale of the classic Rapunzel fairytale which we all enjoyed. Bethan proceeded to teach the children all of the secrets of her wonderful illustrations. The children then had the opportunity to try their hand at their own witch illustration which they thoroughly enjoyed. It was an inspirational visit and one which will no doubt inspire the children with their writing going forward. It was so fantastic to see the children dressed as their favourite character from a story yesterday, everyone looked wonderful. During the day we read another book of Bethan Woollvin, ‘Luna and the Sky Dragon’ and taking inspiration created our own short version of the story. At the end of the day we were lucky to have a visit from Year 6 who came down to read with us. What a fabulous week it has been! :)
