KS2 Author visit

Mon 11 Mar 2024

Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 were thrilled to welcome the fantastic author and illustrator Chris Mould to Lawns Park. Chris has been involved in writing and illustrating some extremely well-known books over his 30-year career, and he spent some time talking with the children about his illustrated version of 'The Iron Man' which our children read in LKS2. Chris discussed his career from childhood to present day and emphasised the challenges he went through at school as a little boy who found learning difficult. Fast-forward 40 years and Chris is the creator of numerous books and has worked on projects which have gone on to be made into movies such as, 'A Boy called Christmas.' All the while Chris is telling his story he is also leading a draw-along for the children of his Iron Man artwork so that all children had a souvenir of his visit. It was a fantastic opportunity for the children to be inspired by the brilliance of a famous author/illustrator and Chris really enjoyed his time with our children.

World Book Day!

Thu 07 Mar 2024

Lawns Park celebrated World Book day with an exciting day of costumes, activities and - most importantly - books! The children and staff came to school in a whole variety of wacky and wonderful outfits which demonstrated come of their favourite characters as well as an adjective describing that character. We had a whole-school assembly to show off our outfits and then went back to classrooms where we took part in lots of different reading and book related activities. We also enjoyed some D.E.A.R time (Drop Everything And Read) throughout the day whenever the school bell rang. We had a fantastic day and really enjoyed hearing and talking all about our favourite books.

KS1 Author Visit

As part of our celebration of World Book Day we invited superstar author and illustrator Bethan Woollvin to Lawns Park to meet out children in Years 1 and 2. Bethan came in to talk about her books and what life is like for her being an author. She gave the children a sneak peak behind the scenes of her exciting work and then proceeded to teach the children all of the secrets of her wonderful illustrations. The children then had the opportunity to try their hand at their own illustrations which they thoroughly enjoyed. It was an inspirational visit and one which will no doubt inspire the children with their writing going forward.
