Stephen Waterhouse – author & illustrator On Friday 11th March we have arranged a visit from Stephen Waterhouse, an author and illustrator, for the pupils of the whole school. He will talk to the children about how he became an illustrator and author and what inspired him when he was very young . He will also show the process of developing characters from rough sketches through to colour artwork and the final books, as well as showing posters, jigsaws, cards and original paintings.
Staff Update We say a sad farewell to Mrs. Daniel who will be leaving us at the end of this term to pursue a different career, she has made such an impact with Year 4 and 5 and especially her contribution to the choir. Mrs. Dixon who works with Year 5 will also be moving away from the area after the Easter holiday. We wish them both all the best and thank them for all the wonderful experiences they have provided for the children at the school. I would also like to welcome Mrs Seager who will be joining our Year 6 team; she will work 3 days a week with Mrs Strevens and Miss Smith.
