school visits
Please use the contact page to get in touch if you'd be interested in arranging a visit to your school. I am available for visits on Mondays. I can offer:
Reading based sessions: A talk aimed at promoting reading in general, with discussion and activities about favourite books and books with animal characters. I will also speak about my book, including its themes and messages. This will conclude with a Q & A and opportunity to buy books and have them signed.
Writing based sessions: This involves character profiling to create a fictional animal character, with much reference to existing fictional animal characters, followed by a writing activity centred around their character. It will look at the skills of showing and telling and how to influence the reader's response to the character.
Physical activities: If you prefer a more active session, we can run a show-jumping or Pony Club games (on foot) activity!
