🐺 A little creativity goes a long way! 🦏🎩 Last week, our Year 3 children had a fantastic time taking part in a virtual author visit with Rob Biddulph, hosted by Waterstones! Using Draw with Rob, the children joined in with a LIVE drawing session, using the randomiser to create a very unusual character... a rhino wearing a top hat! 🎩🦏 There were lots of smiles as they brought their imaginative creations to life! The children also enjoyed hearing a chapter from Rob's new book, The Last Wolf, learning about the characters and discovering more about how he writes his stories. 🐺📖 A wonderful opportunity to celebrate reading, creativity and the magic of storytelling! 💚 #DREAM
