On Thursday 29^th November, we are planning an exciting event for the children. Chris Callaghan, author of ‘The Great Chocoplot’ has agreed to visit the school to talk to the children about his book.

Chris is a great author and performer and we are delighted to have secured a visit by him. He will be talking to the children to provide inspiration for their own writing and also enthusing them about the joy of reading. This will support the English work that we do in school and we hope it will prove a stimulating experience for the children.

Afterwards there will be an opportunity for the children to buy a copy of his book, ‘The Great Chocoplot’ and get it dedicated to them and signed by Chris. A signed book can be a permanent reminder of a special experience and can reinforce the message about the importance of reading. If your child would like to purchase a copy of the great chocoplot book, please make sure you bring in the correct money in a clearly labelled envelope to the front office (£6.00) during the days before. It must have your child's name and class on for us to be able to process the order. Please send cash rather than a cheque if possible, as this makes life a lot easier for us. Of course, if your child already owns any of Chris’s books they can bring those in and he will be happy to sign them.

We are sure you will agree that this is an opportunity not to be missed and the children can look forward to a very exciting day!
