Conrad's Magical, Literacy Whistle Stop tour

Yesterday, I saw...wait for it...1700 DIFFERENT pupils, in eight different assemblies, across 6 different sites, in ONE DAY! 1700! That's a ridiculously large number of pupils. And it was fun, exhausting, crazy, wonderful, exhilarating, 'getting there on time...mostly', brilliant and fantastic. It's all been part of the 'let's write together' project organised between Hunters Bar Junior and Infants, Ecclesall Infants and Juniors, Portecroft Primary and Greystones Primary. Thanks to all the children who made me feel so welcome, and thanks especially to Dylan and Maisy - Dylan for giving me the idea of giving Sergeant James Grim the key to the cemetery gates and Maisy for giving me the idea of writing a poem about making fake sick to get the day off school.
