On Thursday 15th October, Year 4 were lucky enough to welcome the author PG Bell, the author of our inspiration text for this term (The Train to Impossible Places). He spent a fun and exciting morning with us, during which he gave a talk all about the writing of his books and the creation of impossible places. We were also lucky enough to have a class workshop with PG Bell where he led us in the creating of postcards from our own impossible places – we even had the chance to get our books signed. What a fantastic morning!
Thank you to PG Bell for making the trip to our school, and to FOCCS for funding it.
Term 1 focuses on our topic ‘Impossible Places’ where we dive into a world of impossibility! Creating setting descriptions, narratives, posters and a side of scientific experiments, the first term is a real insight into what lies in store for the rest of the year!
