Derbyshire Arts Weekend: 1st Year pupils meet children's author
On Saturday 20th September Mrs Taylor and Mrs Lings took a group of 1st Year pupils to meet the highly acclaimed children's author, Emma Chichester Clark. The children were introduced to such well-loved children's favourites as Minty and Tink, Melrose and Croc and The Blue Kangaroo.
Emma Chichester Clark demonstrated how she created her characters and wrote stories about them, reading three stories to us and enchanting us with her tales and illustrations. One of our pupils took a much loved book from home for her to sign! And another boy was given a book as his birthday was the following day! The sun shone for the Arts Weekend and it was a great treat for us all.
