Forest Fields Primary School
- Y6 Forest Fields Primary School
On to Forest Fields Primary School in Nottingham today. I offered to give a whole school assembly as thanks to the girls who helped me with Tabinda’s story. The four girls standing on the right are all stars. Not only did they help me with my research, they play football too. Such role models!
I got the impression that Sangeeta, Mujgana, Sajjal, Mahfuza and Amritha are pretty representative of this vibrant, friendly school; polite, hard-working, keen and kind. They are a tribute to their teachers and their families.
I’m hoping to see some of the children again tomorrow when I do a book signing in Waterstone’s, Nottingham. Anyone who comes along can help decide on the title for Tabinda’s story.
Waterstone’s, Bridlesmith Gate, Nottingham 10.00am -12.00 (with Alan MacDonald) and 1.30 - 3.00 (on my own - sob, sob). Telephone 0115-9484499 to order a signed copy of a book.
The Bookcase at Lowdham has also got plenty of copies of Love Simonexxx and Clubbing Together in stock too. (tel: 0115 - 9664143)

Hi Sabah! I’d love to come again - maybe in summer when all my school visits have finished. We could do some creative writing?

Hey girls - how brilliant to hear from you. How did you know that I was thinking about you? I am in the middle of re-writes on Tabinda. The story was too long so I have had to cut it down by 1000 words. The trouble is when you do that it is like unpicking a jumper - some of the pattern and shape is lost so you have to mend it, making sure the patches don’t show! We decided to call the story ‘Can’t I just kick it?’ in the end. Anyhow, keep in touch - I’ll let you know when it comes out, even though you might be in secondary school by then. Yikes!
