stdClass Object ( [caption] => With many of the children dressed-to-the-nines in literary character costumes, our World Book Day celebrations have been a great success, despite the lockdown. Earlier this morning, Years 5 to 8 were engrossed in a workshop by the multi-talented author, poet and hip-hop artist Karl Nova. The children learnt about and practised writing haikus, rhyming couplets and using repetition to create rhythm in a poem. Meanwhile, the Juniors were treated to the energy of Chris White. They listened intently to how he became an author and really enjoyed the opportunity to draw superhero characters alongside him as he guided them expertly through the drawing process. The children also wrote some simple but hilarious lines of poetry to go with their pictures. #karlnova #createwithchris #worldbookday2021 #books #Ilovereading #bookstagram #books #book #reading #novel
