M G Leonard - KS2 Author Visit

On Wednesday 15 November 2023, we welcomed M G Leonard in to talk all about her wonderful, wintry new book 'The Ice Children'. The children were enthralled by her storytelling of why she became an author and why she wrote the style of books she did. The children were amazed to find out that at school, M G Leonard didn't love writing and got D-, however is now winning awards for her books, which include: Beetle Boy, 'The adventures on a train series' including The Highland Falcon Thief and The Twitchers series. At the end of the assembly, our children were invited to ask questions to find out more about her and enjoyed listening to the first chapter of her new book.

 

Some children then received their signed copies and have been spotted reading them around school during their free time.
