Wix and Wrabness Primary School CO11 2RS

YOUNGSTERS in Wix stepped into their very own adventure world this week.
Children at Wix and Wrabness Primary activated their imaginations to write their own stories as part of the school’s book week. On Wednesday author, Jack Trelawny, spoke to the pupils about how he was inspired to write. Catherine Graham, literacy leader at the school, said:
“It has been book week this week and as part of that an author came to the school.
“He told the children what inspired him and how he gets his ideas, which is why we chose him to come in.
“We wanted the children to think what would inspire them to write.
“The children were really excited and they asked him lots questions.
“Some of them have already started planning their own stories.”

The Abbey Primary School AL1 1DQ

'There was a real buzz around the school!'
I gave a talk and slideshow to the children in KS2 about using imagination for creative writing and my Kernowland in Erthwurld series.

In the school newsletter, Headteacher, Emma Fenn, reviewed the visit: 'Jack Trelawny... inspired the whole school to produce imaginative and creative writing. There was a real buzz around the school! Our thanks go to Mrs Tumber for all her hard work in promoting reading throughout the school and for organising such an enriched week.'

'A very enjoyable assembly'
All the children really enjoyed Jack's visit to our school. He led a very enjoyable assembly about how he creates exciting characters and ideas for stories.
Jack stayed with us for a little while longer to speak to the children and to sign copies of books from his Kernowland series.

Hawley Primary School GU17 9BH - Visit

Visit to Hawley Primary School
I visited Hawley Primary School in Camberley, Surrey, and gave a slideshow presentation and talk followed by a 'Meet the Author' booksigning event.

Afterwards, the school kindly reviewed the visit on their website. This helps other schools to know what happens so they can decide if they would like a FREE Jack Trelawny author visit to their school...

Author Visits Hawley
To mark World Book Day the children’s author Jack Trelawny visited Hawley Primary School to inspire children to become even better writers. 
Children in year 3 and 4 have been studying Jacks book “The Crystal Pool” and will be writing to him to ask even more questions about why he became a writer and how he uses his imagination to create his characters.
All the children thoroughly enjoyed the visit and a number of pupils purchased copies of his books, which Jack signed for them at the end of the afternoon.
