my News Letter item

On Tuesday morning we were joined by Scott Tulloch (a self taught illustrator and author) for our Duffy Role Model assembly. Mr Tulloch has published more than 25 books. He spoke to us about a few of his books. He showed us a video of his book ‘I Am Not A Worm’, which was one of favourite books when I was 8! He drew a picture of Mr Adams to show us how to draw and get ideas, and what to focus on when drawing. Mr Tulloch likes to use pictures as much as words to tell a story, which I think makes his books more enjoyable for younger children. He told us a story when he was younger and came last in the school cross country, I can relate to this because I don’t really enjoy doing the cross country either, but he has taught me to persist even when things get hard or are difficult. Thank you to Duffy and the sponsors for our books this term. Ellie Whelan Year 7
