Isle of Wight literary festival

 Year 2 welcomed a visit today from Jenny McLachlan an author, as part of the Isle of Wight Literary festival. She told us all about her real life inspiration for her stories and including her book The Land of Roar. Jenny helped us to act out the start of her story but we will have to read it to find out more! We then wrote our own spells to help the dragon egg from the Land of Roar hatch and met the pet dragon as well as his grown up friend! Finally we learnt how to draw the fairy Stink from Jenny’s book about Stink fairy.
