Helen Cooper - author visit

On Wednesday, we had a wonderful visit from Helen Cooper, author of books such as Pumpkin Soup and The Hippo at the End of the Hall. Over 4 assemblies, she spoke to the whole school about how she collects her ideas for stories, what inspires her and her love of drawing. The children were excited to ask more about (among other things) how she became an author and whether there might be more stories featuring Cat, Duck and Squirrel. 

Helen remarked about the children's enthusiasm about books and reading and was particularly impressed by the displays that each class had made to welcome her.
