Year 4 are currently reading Varjak Paw in their English lessons and so were excited to welcome the book’s author, SF Said, who spoke to the children in Prep about his books and read a short extract from Varjak Paw.
He captivated pupils with his insights into becoming an author and the inspirations that sparked his love of writing from a young age.
What a fascinating visit!
Year 3 dressed to impress and were treated to a très délicieux French themed breakfast as a part of their French topic!
