Noremarsh Junior School in Royal Wootton Bassett was excited to welcome acclaimed author Stewart Foster.
One of the rafts built by pupils
Stewart began his visit with a hilariously funny assembly in which he re-enacted scenes from his book with children.
Pupils were left in awe of his stories and timeline of becoming the successful writer he is today.
Workshops then took place in Year 5 and 6 classrooms, with children creating their own mini rafts from the ‘All the Things That Could Go Wrong’ book.
Stewart joined in on the experiments to see whose raft could hold the most weight. Stewart went on to talk about his books and answer some of the children’s burning questions.
Hilary MacMeekin, headteacher at Noremarsh Junior School, said “We love to read at Noremarsh and we are always encouraging children to read as much as they can.
"Stewart is one of my personal favourite’s having read all of his books, I could not wait for his visit to the school.
"His stories were hilarious and yet inspiring, as a school we love listening to the authors journeys along with the children having an abundance of questions.”
