Y7s enjoyed a fascinating talk from children’s author, Tom Moorhouse at the end of term. As well as being an author, Tom is a research ecologist at Oxford University and spoke to the students about the plight of water voles at the hands of the American mink; a subject he highlights in his wonderful The River Singer and The Rising books.
Tom also ran a brilliant animal fiction writing workshop for Y8/9 students and a small group of Y6 pupils from Holy Trinity and St Mary’s. The students came up with some spectacular ideas. Thank you Tom!
