Heavers Farm Primary School - Video

Heavers Farm Primary School - Pearl Class - Year 3 - Video about visit
On 22 November 2011, I visited Heavers Farm Primary School in South Norwood, London, and gave a slideshow presentation and talk followed by a 'Meet the Author' booksigning event.

Afterwards, some of the children kindly made a video about the visit. It's great when children and teachers do things like this because it helps other schools to know what happens so they can decide if they would like a FREE Jack Trelawny author visit to their school.

I'd like to say a big 'THANK YOU' to Pearl Class in Year 3 who made the video.

Sidmouth Primary School EX10 9XB - Teacher Review

'Thanks for a Fantastic Visit'
I visited Sidmouth Primary School and gave a slideshow presentation and talk followed by a 'Meet the Author' booksigning event.
After the visit, Literacy Coordinator, Caroline Morgan, kindly wrote to Campion Books with a review of the visit. 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...

To Jane Bennett
Events Manager
Campion Books

Dear Jane,
I just wanted to e-mail to say how fantastic our visit from Jack Trewawny was yesterday.
The children (and staff) found his talk really inspirational and the opportunity to have books signed after the visit was brilliant too.
I have been approached by one parent this morning to say that her son, who is usually a reluctant reader, has already read the first ten chapters of the book and had to be pried away from it at bedtime!
Another child has come into school this morning with the beginning of a story he is writing which has clearly been influenced by Jack's book and presentation.
Please could you pass my thanks on to Jack. 

Thank you,
Caroline Morgan
