New library opens for pupils at Willingdon School

The school had a celebration last week and enjoyed a visit from Siobhan Curham, author of Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow.

Students took part in workshops and heard her discuss the writing process.

In the afternoon, students attended a workshop with representatives from Scorch comics.

They took part in creating their own monster and received personalised cartoons from acclaimed artist Boo Cook.

The day was a great success and was enjoyed by the students.

One Willingdon School pupil said: “Definitely inspiration for imagination.”

A group of Year Seven students conducted a live twitter interview with Phoenix Comics.

They shared their passion for comic writing, explored how comics can promote reading for pleasure and found out about the career path of a comic artist and writer.

The full interview can be read at #WCSreadingwriters.
