We were recently fortunate enough to be visited by the author Peter Hayden.
He talked to the whole school and read some of his stories before doing a workshop for year 5. The children had an excellent day and enjoyed producing some quality writing.
Here are some of their comments:

Year three only heard the stories that Peter Hayden told to the whole school. I know the children enjoyed these very funny stories as they talked about them all day. It was also nice to have a 'real' author in school. I think some of the children, particularly in Year 5, were very inspired. A thoroughly worthwhile experience.
I really enjoyed it when Peter Hayden let us write a bit of a story.
I am so unfortunate that I had to miss Peter Hayden! I was so looking forward to it. I bet he was ace! I've always wanted to see a real author! But now I've missed it! I hope everyone had a great time!

Hi folks - Peter Hayden here, thanks for your nice comments. It was a fun day at Preston Primary. Yesterday I was at a very small school near Northampton called Pitsford Primary which only had 55 children in the whole school, but that's nowhere near the smallest I've been in - that was one called Craigston Primary which only had TEN children in the whole school. It is in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland.
I have just read Ewan, Jess, Beth and George's writing - very good and confident writing. Beth's was nice, I like how she doesn't get her own back, just gets zapped again like the previous year; Ewan's was fun, a bit weird and dream-like... Jess - nice horsey girley writing, my daughter was mad about horses, then boys, now music; George - funny, the strangest diving lesson I've ever heard of.
Have a good Red Nose Day. See ya! From Peter H.

This was a really fantastic experience for everyone and we got some fantastic writing out of it.
