Jack Trelawny opens new Woollcott Learning Centre at Chapel End Junior School E17 4LS

New Woollcott Learning Centre for Chapel End Junior School
PUPILS and staff have celebrated the opening of a new school building.
   The Woollcott Learning Centre will provide extra classroom space and facilities for youngsters at Chapel End Junior School in Roberts Road, Walthamstow.
   It was officially opened today by children's author Jack Trelawny and Peter Woollcott, who the building has been named after in recognition of his work as a governor at the school for more than two decades.
   The £300,000 structure, paid for from school funds, includes a large classroom space, toilets and a kitchen.
   Lisa Joy, the school's librarian, said: "The opening went really well and lots of pupils and staff have been enjoying a little party to celebrate.
   "It's a lovely building. We've already started to have some music, drama and philosophy lessons there, and our cookery club."

On 4 March 2011, 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 children kindly sent me some letters and artwork based on my books and the presentation. 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. Below is a letter from Freya Short.

I like the pictures Freya has drawn of the giant crabs from Book 1 of the Kernowland in Erthwurld story. They look really scary.

Letter from parent - Laura Cheek - page 1 -  click to enlarge
On 17 February 2011, I visited Barling Magna Primary School in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, and gave a slideshow presentation and talk followed by a 'Meet the Author' booksigning event. 
Letter from parent - Laura Cheek - page 2 - click to enlarge
Afterwards, a parent, Laura Cheek, kindly sent me a letter outlining how the visit had sparked an interest in reading in her 8-year-old son, Evan. Feedback like this gives other parents and schools an idea of how the school visits can inspire children and helps them to decide if they would like a FREE Jack Trelawny author visit to their school. 

Evan, 8, sent me the letter below after he had finished the last book in the Kernowland in Erthwurld series, Kernowland 6 Colosseum of Dread (see below).

Thank you very much, Laura and Evan, for your kind letters.

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.”
