Author Visits
During Book week we enjoyed visits from two authors and storytellers:
Cath Howe
On Monday, we were delighted to welcome author Cath Howe to the Prep department. She spoke about how she became an author and had some fabulous tips to share with our own budding Hilden Oaks writers. Cath, who still works part time as an English teacher, guided the pupils through several exercises aimed at improving their creative writing, such as 'continuous writing' and 'how to me' scribbles!
John Row
On Tuesday, world-renowned storyteller John Row visited the children in Kindergarten through to Form 2. for interactive story sessions. The children enjoyed listening to John Row's wonderful tales from different countries, and participated in a series of 'catalogue stories', featuring a host of animals, actions and unusual scenarios.
