Year 1 joined Year 2 for a virtual author and illustrator visit this afternoon. The children listened to the author Kelechi Okafor read her latest book ‘Strong Like Me’. It told the children about the importance of strength in all its forms. Afterwards the illustrator of the book Michaela Dias-Haynes showed the children how she created some of the illustrations for the book. The children couldn’t wait to go home and try out some of her tips for drawing.
