CBCA Book Week 2023 - Read, Grow, Inspire

We had a great time celebrating Book Week including an author talk by Martin Chatterton for our Junior School students. Congratulations to Faustine who won the Book Week Quiz & Bryony and Elsie who came equal first for their amazing drawings!

In late August, Martin Chatterton came to our school to not only talk about his books and share details of his life and career with us but also to draw a few lucky students. Martin has a very fun and goofy art style where he will look at you and exaggerate some of your features. As a cohort it was very fun to watch him draw one of our classmates which was very funny and interesting to watch. Next he went to tell us all about his very many books he's written, along with sharing a really funny story about his father-in-law’s pet bird that sparked an idea for a book that is coming out very soon. He ended his talk by showing us the trailer for one of his books, 'The Tell'. Overall it was a very enjoyable and funny experience and I'm very pleased we all got to meet Martin Chatterton.
