Good Morning
It’s another beautiful day, the sun is shining and it is warmer again.
Today is World Art Day and I was listening to Tony Ross (writer of the Little Princess books and illustrator of the David Walliams books) on the Radio 2 this morning and he set a challenge to write an 8 page or 12 page picture book. He explained you only need a few sheets of A4 paper folded in half and you are ready to go. He talked about making the front cover really ‘wow’ and different to the rest of book. He said to use your imagination – to be be more imaginative than you have ever been in your life!
So that got me thinking – I wonder if you could write a picture book story and make it really amazing – it would be a brilliant thing to do to pass the time in isolation, but also what a great thing to keep for the future as a memory of your time!
So that is my challenge to you – write and illustrate a picture book. You can share it with me by scanning it or taking photos and emailing it to me! I will think of a prize!!
Remember to do the feelings check-in and don’t forget to look for the Easter Eggs on the school blogs – prizes are at stake!
Keep safe, get some fresh air and follow the guidelines,
Have a nice day,
Mrs Graves
