Waycroft Academy celebrated ‘We Are Authors Day’ with a special visit from Bristol-born authors Steve Gunning and Chris Wheeler, creators of the exciting new children’s book Santa’s Secret Agents.
The day was filled with literary magic as pupils listened intently to the authors bringing their story to life during a captivating live reading.
Following the reading, the young audience eagerly participated in a lively question-and-answer session. Pupils posed thoughtful, well-informed questions, showcasing their engagement and curiosity about the writing process and the story’s inspiration.
Many pupils purchased personalised signed copies of Santa’s Secret Agents, as they had enjoyed it that much.
Emma Sweet, Assistant Headteacher at Waycroft Academy, said: “We are thrilled to have hosted such talented local authors for We Are Authors Day.
“Events like this inspire a love of reading and creativity in our pupils, showing them that anyone can be an author if they have a story to tell.
“Watching our pupils interact with Steve and Chris was truly inspiring – they left with their imaginations buzzing.”
