Years 5 and 6 had a really interesting author visit - the author of popular novel ‘Horrible Histories’ Martin Brown talked about the importance of illustration and spoke about the conflict of World War 1, including life in the trenches. He also joined in activities with them as characters ‘came to life’ through Martin’s creativity.
This was organised through the RBWM Library Service’s Outreach team as part of their WW1 programme.
It was very inspiring and showed how anyone can be an illustrator and how illustrations can bring a topic to life.
