Alan Gibbons day

Yesterday was a very special day for St. Stephen's, because we had an award-winning writer in school to teach us about storywriting!

Alan Gibbons has written more than 50 books and hundreds of poems, and has an amazing imagination. Here are some photos of year 4 working with the great man!

  6. My favourite part was the assembly. Mr.Alan Gibbons told a story about a mighty chimpanzee and a wimpy gorilla. Another favourite part is when we made poems about Henry the 8 wives. We had different funny poems. It's about Mr.Alan Gibbons because he wrote a poem about Anne Bolyn, the second wife that was beheaded. I thought today was a very fun day and I love all his books. I bought 3 of his books and we got his own signature too! I bet you have to try his books too!
