Author Visit – Tilly Matthews Yesterday we were delighted to welcome author Tilly Matthews to Thursfield for a fantastic day of storytelling and creativity. The day began with an engaging whole school assembly where Tilly shared her journey as an author and inspired the children with her love of reading and writing. Our Year 3 and Year 4 pupils were then lucky enough to take part in exciting workshops focused on character design and story plotting. The children had a brilliant time creating their own characters and exploring how stories are developed, showing fantastic imagination and creativity throughout the sessions. A big thank you to Tilly for such an inspiring visit we may well have some future authors at Thursfield! #AuthorVisit #ReadingForPleasure #CreativeWriting #FutureAuthors #LoveReading #SchoolEvents

Author Visit - Ashley Thorpe Today our KS2 children had the pleasure of welcoming Ashley Thorpe to Thursfield Primary School to help us launch our Book Week! Ashley delivered an engaging and inspiring KS2 assembly this morning, sharing his journey as an author, his love of storytelling and the creative process behind his books. He encouraged our pupils to use their imagination, believe in their ideas and see themselves as writers. This afternoon, he led fantastic workshops with our Year 5 and 6 classes, where the children explored character creation, plot development and storytelling techniques. The sessions were interactive, creative and thoroughly enjoyed by all. Our pupils have not stopped talking about their time with Ashley and have been excitedly sharing their new story ideas with staff and friends across school! A huge thank you to Ashley for such a memorable and inspiring visit!
