The author Jim Smith visited our school on 27th February and held a masterclass in how to create and design a graphic novel.
The children were guided on how to draw their own comic book characters and were able to suggest ideas for Jim’s next book. The question and answer session helped to give the children an insight into the life of an author.
The session finished with a book signing and – how amazing – a personalised illustration each from Jim!
