“Two fantastic days spent with Tom who gave the children a real purpose for their writing! Inspiring young minds to find a passion for creating stories and discovering that writing can be so much fun!” Mrs Pemberton, Teacher
“Tom was extremely helpful in his approach to helping our children in Year 6 work on their editing and proof-reading skills . It was great watching Tom demonstrate how he edits and improves his own writing and then seeing the pupils applying those skills to their own work” Mr Tee, Teacher
And well done from me to everyone for all their hard work at Shakespeare Primary!

Ursuline Prep School trip to Normandy
In May 2019, Year 5 & 6 pupils from Ursuline Prep School travelled to Normandy and listened to each other reading from D-Day Dog on the very beach it is set. They also recreated the cover.
“Both classes have thoroughly enjoyed listening/reading the book at have also enjoyed discussing some of the many themes – the D-Day landings were obviously the focus for lots of discussion. The teacher had a conscience corridor with her class on the beach. The book really deepened the children’s understanding of the landings and their significance and added value to the trips that we made to the American and German cemeteries, the guns and beach at Longues sur Mer and the beaches at Asnelles.” Ursuline Prep School
