On Tuesday (23rd April) a group of Year 5 children attended a very special author event hosted by Roundhay School.

Dermot O’leary talked about his series of books Toto the Ninja Cat and then his latest book Wings of Glory (set in WWII). He answered questions in a chat show format before reading an extract of his book.

The children also had the opportunity to participate in a draw-a-long with book illustrator Claire Powell having a go at drawing the hero of the story; Linus the swift and to ask Dermot some questions.

It was a fantastic fun afternoon.
