A Famous Children's Author visits CSPA!
On Wednesday, we were very excited to welcome famous children’s author and script-writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce to Chalfont St Peter Academy. Also known for his spectacular 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony and the more recent Platinum Jubilee ‘Paddington and the Queen’ sketch, Frank delighted the whole school with memories from his own childhood, as well as extracts from his books for children, including his latest adventure, called “The Wonder Brothers”.
Our pupils enjoyed the opportunity to ask Frank lots of interesting questions about his life and writing and were able to receive their pre-ordered, personally signed copies of “The Wonder Brothers” from Frank himself after the event.
Frank also encouraged the whole school to enter the BBC 500 Words 2023 Story Competition, where he is one of the judges, looking forward to reading their creative compositions and choose a winner!
We would like to thank Frank Cottrell-Boyce for taking the time to visit our school and giving us all a very entertaining and inspirational afternoon. Mrs Newton (English Leader)
