James Mayhew

James Mayhew visit

James Mayhew visited school and told the story of The Firebird to year 4.  As he told it he painted a wonderful picture of The Firebird.  We were amazed that he was able to paint upside down! 

He told us that when he was at school he did not enjoy writing and thought that he wanted to be an artist.  However, he discovered that he loves to tell stories in his own way so became an author and illustrator.

We all had an excellent afternoon and have tried writing our own picture book versions of The Firebird to share with Year One.
