SCHOOL VISITS
I love doing school visits. Generally I do talks for classes in years 1, 2, 3 and 4. I bring hats, play games, and talk to children about my experience of becoming a writer. I've done stand up comedy in the past so my visits are interactive, entertaining and make children laugh. Both boys and girls love Boobela and Worm.
Since I started writing at 7 and sold my first play at 11, I know that childen want to write and can do it at a high level. I hope to inspire them to do this. I can do creative writing workshops for all primary school ages, though years 4, 5 and 6 get the most from such sessions.
Creative writing workshops are limited to a single class and take a minimum of an hour.
Situated as it is between picture books and chapter books, Boobela is ideally suited to encouraging kids to read more.
The Times Education Supplelement did an article about one of my school visits.
