Class 3 and 4 had a fantastic morning with author Tom Palmer 📖 We learned all about Tom’s writing process, the inspiration behind his many books and had the opportunity to ask him lots of questions. We were fascinated to discover that Tom wasn’t always the avid reader he is today. It was his mum who encouraged him to read by helping him explore his love of sport through newspapers and magazines. Tom shared his top tip for becoming a good writer: read, read, read! We’re sure our new (signed!) Tom Palmer books will be very well read soon. Tom also enjoyed a tour of our school led by our newly appointed Reading Ambassadors, who proudly told him all about the reading culture we are building at Crakehall. A huge thank you to FOCs for funding this wonderful opportunity for our KS2 children. We’re certain it is a day they won’t forget for a long time!
