This term Year 6 have been learning about the life and work of Charles Darwin. Their work was complemented and reinforced when internationally known author and actor Chris Connaughton came to work with them.
During the morning session they watched him perform a small play about Charles Darwin and then during work shop time he set them challenges to extend their creative writing skills.
There was time for questions and answers in the afternoon and children were able to ask him about his life as an actor and a writer and some of the skills and disciplines needed to do both jobs.
