Miss L. Hall, Literacy Coordinator, Rawthorpe Junior School: 'Thank you for visiting Year 6 and inspiring them with your amazing workshop. The children loved reading Firestorm Rising and have enjoyed using it as a stimulus for their own spooky stories. As an ex Year 6 teacher you really understood how to hook the children in!'
Miss E. Nicholson, Literacy Coordinator, Castleford Park Junior Academy: 'The library visit with John was fantastic – the buzz amongst the children on the return journey to school was priceless. It was particularly rewarding to see children, who wouldn’t usually have this opportunity, so excited about their afternoon and reading in general. Several staff members mentioned to myself the following day just how excited the children were on returning to school and were eager to tell their classmates all about their afternoon at the library. From the very offset, John made the children feel so comfortable and welcome and they were engrossed when he began reading. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon for both children and staff – we really hope to work with John again in the near future.'
