n Caroline Lawrence In September, we welcomed author Caroline Lawrence to speak to the Junior School. Caroline’s books, The Roman Mysteries, have been translated into 14 languages, and she offered insights into how she began writing and her inspirations. The Year 6 librarians were delighted to have a Meet the Author Masterclass before her main talk to everyone which covered everything from creativity to ‘How to hook in your audience’. Boys loved hearing her fascinating facts, based on genuine research. Books were signed, boys were impressed, and we were very grateful to Caroline for such a fabulous visit.
n Ross Montgomery We were thrilled to welcome the author Ross Montgomery to read aloud and perform from his book, Christmas Dinner of Schools, on the last afternoon of the Michaelmas term. Within minutes the first ghost story piqued the boys’ interest and all eyes and ears were focussed on the author. It was a glorious relaxing end of term treat and many boys were still talking about the visit on their return to school in January.
