Luke Temple Author Visit

This afternoon we were all very lucky to have a real author visit our school. Luke Temple ran two sessions. One for KS1 and another for Key Stage 2. 

In the Key Stage 1 session Luke introduced us to his books. We all enjoyed joining in with a live read aloud of his books. Below is us making the sound of the poo monster!  (Did you know… his daughter inspired him to create the poo monster!) 

We all really enjoyed interacting with Luke. He told us there are some quite surprising things about him: When he was a child, Luke was rubbish at spelling, he didn’t enjoy reading and he found writing hard work. Yet today he’s an author and loves reading and writing. That doesn’t mean he now finds it all really easy – he doesn’t! Reading and writing are both still a big challenge for him. That just shows that anything is possible – even if you struggle with reading and writing, you can find a way to enjoy that challenge … and you might even become an author!
