Feedback from events

A very successful visit, thank you. The children enjoyed your input and we have incorporated some of your suggestions for story ideas into the work we have sent home during the school closure. Thank you, Christina

Thank you for empowering children's love of reading. The children thoroughly enjoyed the event and have planned projects in class inspired by the day. Highly recommended.

It was fantastic to have Lou in school - she went to all classes from Early Years to Year 4 and engaged with all of the students in a calm and lovely manner. The children loved listening to her stories and joining in with the activities and were excited and inspired to meet a real author!

Thank you so much for visiting! Everyone really enjoyed having you join us - we hope to be able to invite you back next year too!

Great fun for the students with well structured and engaging activities. Would love to have him back next year!

An spent the whole day with us at school on March 5th 2020 and ran three workshops. The workshops were enjoyed by children and staff. An told her stories, explained how books are made and how she had become an author. This matched well with our whole school focus on literacy. Workshops were fun and interactive, each group were left with a follow up task. Would recommend to other schools without hesitation. Thanks An!

Julia provided engaging and fun reading workshops for all our years groups from reception to Year 6. She led a whole school assembly to kick start the day and did a story telling session of one of her books, which the younger children thoroughly enjoyed.

Cliff was great with the students. There was a wide age range and he catered for them all. The workshops with year 7 & 8 were very impressive. Hope he will visit us again.

Brilliant day, and the students who took part really enjoyed themselves.

We were delighted to welcome author Lou Treleaven to Codicote Primary School on Monday 9th March. She spent the morning working with our Early Years and Key Stage 1 children, starting with an assembly and then a series of workshops for classes, based on a number of her books. In the afternoon she read from 'Turns out I'm an Alien' to years 4, 5 and 6 and explained the process of writing a book from the initial idea to publication. The children were totally enthralled and all keen to continue reading the story to find out what happens. Lou was friendly, approachable and engaging - the children loved her and so did all the staff.
