Author Visit in Year 5/6

Today was a great day for the children in years five and six. They were visited by author of Jimmy Threepwood and the Veil of Darkness, Rich Pitman. Rich told them all about his exciting book, about how he wrote it and about the process of becoming an author. He then ran a writer's workshop, passing on some of his characterisation and setting - writing skills to the children in both classes. He was very keen to help the children and willing to view their emailed work and pictures if emailed to him. He has his own website.
