Visit from author Julian Oxley

On Tuesday, we were delighted to welcome author Julian Oxley to our school. He spent the afternoon talking to the children about his book, which is based around our local woods.

It was a really interesting and inspiring visit, and the children enjoyed learning about the story, the setting, and the process of becoming an author. We would like to thank Julian Oxley for taking the time to visit us and share his work.
