Children are inspired by author's visit
Children in Years 1 and 2 at Edward Bryant School had the chance to stretch their imaginations when well-known children’s author Ronda Armitage and her husband, illustrator and artist David, visited the London Road school.
The Armitages, best known for their books about Mr Grinling, The Lighthouse Keeper, worked with the children to make up new exciting adventures.

It has left many budding authors and illustrators raring to go, and youngsters have been busy creating and illustrating their own stories for others to enjoy.
