Our Lady and St Rose of Lima Primary, Birmingham

All the children and staff commented about how much they enjoyed Susanne’s visit. Classes are doing lots of work on Susanne’s story.
Miss Coleman, teacher

Fantastic insight into how stories are created. The workshops allowed the children to think on their feet and show them that they can quickly be creative: A valuable lesson to learn and one I am sure they will be able to apply in their own written work. Thank you!
Miss A Neville, Year 2 teacher

Susanne had all children, from Nursery to Year 6, captured this morning. They really enjoyed learning about the creative process on getting a book published and all the various platforms to get an idea made.
Miss H Purcell, Year 3 teacher

The children were especially inspired through writing, drawing, acting and through Susanne divulging her methods and tips. Very informative and enjoyable.

The children and adults really enjoyed the visit! Some of the children have even been writing their own books this week so you have inspired them!
Maggie Billington, teacher

St Bridget's Primary, West Kirby

The children have come away with a greater understanding and appreciation of what an author is. They were excited by the books presented and the author talk fitted really well with our school drive to encourage a love of reading and words… only wish we had more of it.
Year 1 teacher

The children loved meeting a real author. The presentations of books and the way they were read was pitched at the right level. There was excellent questioning about the books and a good level of encouragement for those children struggling to answer. The children loved the animal activity.
Miss Sadler-Jones, Year 2 teacher

Christchurch Primary, Bootle

The puppets worked really well. It was great to see the kids thinking of ideas as the different characters.
Zoe Leonard, Year 2 teacher

The children were so engaged.
Joan Cleave-Curtin, teaching assistant

The children were really engaged and thinking from different perspectives.
H Edwards, teaching assistant

To see a love for reading instilled in the children has been fantastic. The workshops have inspired the children to write and create their own stories. Breaking down the process of creating a story has been especially helpful.

It was a very interactive session where the children could explore drama, improvisation and how to explore their ideas when writing a story.

The children really enjoyed the workshop - even children that would not normally participate joined in and had fun creating their own story.

All the children were fully engrossed in the workshop.

The sessions were very engaging. I asked the children what they liked best, and “saving the animals”, “stroking the animals” and “holding the animals” were some of the responses.

The children enjoyed all of it, but they really liked the animals!
