The Book Trust's Virtual Authors

In order to inspire our young readers and writers in Manor Primary School, children in Years 3-6 have been participating in virtual author visits (with the Book Trust) since Autumn Term.

 

So far, children have enjoyed meeting and presenting questions to: Benjamin Dean (celebrity reporter and author); Frank Cottrell-Boyce (current Waterstone’s Children’s Laureate, screenwriter and author); Serena Patel (winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award in 2020); and more recently Elle McNicoll (author and screen writer for the BBC series 'A Kind of Spark').

 

Through tasks set by the authors, children have used their imagination to create new characters, innovate new stories and imagine the impossible. We look forward to meeting more authors to keep our pupils at Manor inspired and nurture their love of reading and writing.
