On Friday 27th March I went back to my old junior school in Lumley to do some workshops with year 5. We had a great time thinking about characterisation through drama and photofit characters. The children were fascinated by stories of old teachers and the cane too! They did some wonderful drama and hot-seating based on scenes from My Wicked Stepmother and asked me lots of great questions about writing.
For me it was wonderful to go back to my old school and remember how I used to day dream, looking out of the window on balmy summer days, imagining the fairies who lived at the bottom of our field. Well, it was better than maths and listening to Mr. Fredrikson droning on! Also, the windows seemed a lot higher in those days.
