granny gruffalo
The children in Years 1 and 2 were lucky enough to take part in a livestreamed British Library Learning Event, where renowned author Julia Donaldson introduced her brand-new book, Gruffalo Granny.
The event began with a fantastic re-enactment of The Gruffalo, with Julia Donaldson herself taking on the role of the Mouse! The children were absolutely mesmerised and loved watching her bring the much-loved story to life.
Julia then delighted the children by reading her new story, Gruffalo Granny. They listened intently and thoroughly enjoyed discovering the Mouse’s latest adventure.
To finish the event, illustrator Alex Scheffler showed the children how to draw Gruffalo Granny. The children followed along and had a go at creating their own illustrations. They were amazed by Alex’s artistic skills and had great fun putting their own drawing skills to the test.
The children thought the whole event was brilliant!
“She was amazing as the Mouse!”
“I love the new story as the Mouse was so clever.”
“I wish I could draw as well as Alex Scheffler.”
It was a truly Gruffalo-tastic experience and a wonderful opportunity for the children to meet the creators behind some of their favourite stories!
