Tom Palmer Author visit

We had a fantastic visit for KS2 from Author Tom Palmer today. Tom is passionate about football, rugby and history and writes his children’s books about these. He told us that he struggled with reading at school and always doubted that he could ever become a writer but was inspired by someone close who believed in him.  He has now had 65 children’s books published!  Tom helped Elephants class plan a historical story based around a trench digging tool and then signed books in the school library.  We’ve had a brilliant afternoon chatting football and history!   Who knew that Mr Edwards has supported Chelsea since 1970!  Thanks so much Tom, there was a real buzz in the air today!
