AUTHOR VISIT - SUE WHITING

Last Friday Year 6 had a wonderful experience with Sue Whiting, our local children’s author. We had read her first big novel, Battle of the Rats, much of which was set in Stanwell Park. And Sue talked to us about her latest novel, The Hairy Legs Heist. She likened it to a recipe and Zoe and Mitchell helped Sue make and bake a novel. It was so interesting finding out about where she got her ideas and how it developed. You should have seen the end result!!!!!

Mitchell had mixed ideas, characters, a cup of coffee, lollies and guess what, the most important ingredient, A BRAIN ! Yes a real (sheeps brain) was mixed up, YUK what a mess. We also had read one of Sues latest novels Freaky and we sent our reviews to Sue. She added some of them to her Blog on the internet. Kindergarten are reading her picture book, called The Firefighters. We were all very inspired by Sue’s presentation.
