Today, as part of the Children's Literature Festival, Year 3 went on an exciting adventure, walking to Darwen Library to meet the wonderful Blackburn-born author, Christina Gabbitas. She shared a fascinating glimpse into her background, highlighting the importance of living life to its fullest. Christina also spoke about her love for audiobooks, explaining how she enjoys listening to stories.

The children then had the amazing opportunity to read one of her powerful poems about saving our oceans aloud.  Christina also captivated us by reading a section of her book, 'Believe in Magic', using wonderful expression in her voice that brought the story to life.  Christina generously gave every child a signed copy of her book, 'Believe in Magic'! It was a truly inspiring session!
