Author visit

Posted: 13/03/2015

Years 3 and 4 were in for a treat with a visit from the author and illustrator Hannah Shaw.

Hannah talked to the children about how she writes and draws, and also read an excerpt from her fun adventure story “Stan Stinky” featuring the eponymous Stan, a sewer rat, as the unlikely hero.

Perhaps the most exciting part was when she demonstrated some of her sketches, particularly how she gives her characters different expressions, which the pupils then had a go at themselves. Many of the children had books for her to sign and many of the pupils are now keen to read about Stan Stinky’s adventures for themselves.
