this governor got the chance to go on a tour of all the classes on Monday afternoon to see writing week in action. And it was truly a privilege! 
I saw children drawing fantastical dragons,  which they were beginning to either label or describe. Chestnut class has a very friendly visitor this week - all made of cardboard (with 2 umbrella wings). One dragon had four heads and would eat anyone his creator didn't like. Another made everyone feel happy when it flew overhead.
I saw other groups solving age-old mysteries with highwaymen on salisbury plains or describing some amazing images .
It was great to see so much excitement and engagement in each class. And the rest of the week's timetable looks fab, building on this start and with the added excitement of visiting authors. 
My thanks to everyone who made me feel so welcome, teachers and children alike,  and especially Mrs Fiddy.
