Yesterday we were very lucky to have a visit from Helen Poole. Helen is a Author and Illustrator visit from Liverpool and she spent the whole day here with us yesterday doing workshops with each class from Reception to Year 6.
Each session started with Helen reading one of her books to the children which then lead into a very interesting Q&A session. The children asked some wonderful and inquisitive questions about life as an Author and an Illustrator.
After the Q&A, each class then used their imagination to create their own monster working together as a team. Helen's next book is called "The Meekest Monster" and we are sure the children all gave her some fantastic ideas for her illustrations. We have lots of very creative children in school. Helen is now going to turn our monsters into colouring sheets and return these to school for the children to have and continue their stories.
Burscough Village are very grateful to Helen for gifting us this fantastic opportunity for the children. The day was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Order forms to purchase some of Helen's books are available at our Travelling Book Fair until Wednesday 12th March.
