Author Visit

Date: 17th Jan 2024 @ 9:59pm

Today we have been very lucky to be able to invite an author and illustrator into our classroom, via zoom.  We were joined bu other year 2 classes from the Axia schools. 

Paul Morton has written 2 stories - 'Bug Belly Babysitting Trouble' and 'Bug Belly Froggy Rescue'.    He shared with us his love of frogs and showed us a range of frogs of all colurs of the rainbow.  Did you know in the Uk with only have 3 types of frogs, In Brazil there are 2500 types and in the world - 8500!  The smallest frog is about the size of your thumb nail.  The largest frog is called the Goliath frog. 

Paul showed us some of his illustrations and the process he goes through to create his scrapbooks and ideas. 

After our zoom visit we looked at part of his graphics website.  Before he became an authour and illustrator Paul used to draw and design packaging for a range of foods and chocolates.  We were very impressed.
