Year 7s, Billy Dean-Grant and Ed Smith, visited Ms Hall's Year
10s to talk to them about their private reading. Year 10 are currently studying
narrative writing and thinking about the features that need to be included to
make writing as effective and engaging as possible. Billy and Ed talked to the
class about their own reading, and then shared a passage from each of the books
they are reading at the moment. Billy explained that 'White Fang' is "the most
intense book" he has ever read but warned of the grim and vivid descriptions. A
big fan of the Lemony Snicket books, Ed explained how he has become addicted to
the series and particularly enjoys the way the writer communicates directly with
the reader. The Year 10s were impressed by the confidence demonstrated by the
Year 7 students and gave them a big round of applause at the end.
