Last week, 25 of our Year 6 pupils enjoyed a fantastic trip to Northern Stage to see author Matt Goodfellow. Matt captivated the audience as he spoke about his life, shared insights into his writing process, and read moving extracts from his verse novel The Final Year—a firm favourite from our Year 6 Reading Challenge! Our pupils were thoroughly engaged throughout the session, and many were thrilled to meet Matt afterwards to get their copies personally signed. To top off a wonderful outing, our children were warmly praised by both theatre staff and members of the public for their exceptional behaviour and positive attitudes. A brilliant time was had by all!
