n Ben Fogle , modern day adventurer and author, visited the Junior School to introduce his first children’s book Mr Dog and the Rabbit Habit to Year 3 and DUCKS children. In a fascinating talk, Ben regaled us with stories of his adventures from swimming beside man-eating crocodiles in Botswana to climbing Everest and being infected by flesh-eating insects in the jungles of Brazil. In the last year, Ben has visited over 50 countries alone. A wonderful, memorable visit for all.
n All the librarians were treated to tea and question time with Adam Baron , author of Boy Underwater . Having read the book in advance, the boys were bursting with questions for the author about his life, his book and his inspiration. The author commented on the incisive and interesting questions that were posed, and it was a great prequel to the author talk to Years 5 and 6 later in the afternoon. n The author Ben Lyttleton spoke to Years 3 and 4 in The Great Hall about his series Football School , where every lesson is based on football. From drama, to Geography, to the biology of what players eat, the boys were gripped. The author explained why Brazil is historically the best in the world at football and everyone enjoyed a samba and a Mexican wave.
