Book Penpals

Book Penpal 2022 – 2023

2nd February 2023K Littlewood

This year, Year Six have the amazing author Nicola Penfold as their book penpal. Nicola has written several books, including: Where the World Turns Wild and Between Sea and Sky.  We have already received postcards from Nicola and sent our own back in reply. We are looking forward to reading some of Nicola’s books and some of the books that she recommends.

 

Find out more about Nicola and her books at www.nicolapenfold.com

Book Penpal 2018

14th February 2019K Littlewood

Year 5 are incredibly lucky as this year we have a Book Penpal.  Our penpal is Lorraine Gregory, author of ‘Mold and the Poison Plot’.  Lorraine keeps in touch with us regularly and sends book recommendations, answers our questions about writing and even sent a copy of her book as a Christmas gift.  We’re reading the book in class now and love what we’ve read so far.  We’re looking forward to sending Lorraine our responses to her book.
