Southdown Primary

A huge HELLO to everyone at Southdown Primary School in Buckley. I've visited lots of local schools over the years but this will be my first visit to Southdown and I'm really excited about spending the day with you all. I've got lots to show you and have lots of stories to share.

I'd like to share something new that I'm working on with Year 5 and 6 and I would love to hear what you think of it. I'll tell you more tomorrow. 

Right now, I'm writing about dinosaurs - not the two you can see here though. This is Deano and Seren - two of the little dinosaurs that appear in some Dinosaur Stories that will be published later this year (the first ones in August) and have been beautifully illustrated by Hannah Wood.

The dinosaurs I'm writing about now are much scarier. Do you have a favourite dinosaur? Let me know if you do...

Young Writers

 Tomorrow I'll be getting out from behind my desk to spend the day with some excellent young writers at Monks Coppenhall Academy in Crewe - so here's a HUGE HELLO to everyone that's coming from Mablins Lane Community Primary, Gainsborough Primary and Nursery, Haslington Primary, Shavington Primary, and Monks Coppenhall itself.

I can't wait to meet everyone - it's going to be a fun day!!!  

Today I'm busy working on a new series of books - so I'd better get on with it. 

Psst... dinosaurs might be involved.
