- creative minds at work
What better way to spend a wet Monday afternoon in March than with a group of receptive, keen and thoroughly pleasant Y7s? Their English teacher, Ms Andrew, had invited me in as a reward to the group for raising money for charity by doing a ‘Readathon.’ I quite liked being a prize. i wasn’t quite as big a prize as the secretary thought that I was though. ‘Are you Anne Fine?’ she asked when I was signing in.
Anyway, on to the communal library where we shared the session with two older kids sent there for misbehaving in class. I have to say, they were as attentive as the rest of them. Maybe some of the enthusiasm of the group will have a lasting effect – who knows? Good luck with the baby, Ms Andrew!

Hi Harris! I’ll have to think of a way of weaving you into a story one day – but judging by your great writing you’ll be writing your own pretty soon. It was good to meet you all – sorry the photos somehow downloaded strangely!
Thank you for yesterday, the children had a great time. Hopefully we will have a class of budding authors!
Both budding authors and budding readers. They were a great bunch of kids – and very enthusiastic about you. I can only write the books – its teachers like you that lead children to them. Thank you!
