FIONA SCOTT BOOKS

Hello, please get in touch if you would like me to visit your school.

 

I can come for a few hours, a morning/afternoon or for a full day, (depending on location). 

 

My contact email is Stupendousbooks@hotmail.com.

 

I have visited lots of primary

schools and I am keen to visit more as it is just wonderful to spend time with the children inspiring them to have fun with writing and reading.  

 

I have been mainly visiting Reception, KS1 and year 3.  I can also visit KS2, Umbrella Fella has been enjoyed by children in Years 4-6.  

​

How the visit works can be lead by your requirements, single class visits or a whole key stage or school assembly.  I do an introduction about myself, introduce the stories and the characters from the books. I have a real life Anfred, Rob Rat and an actual magical owl pillow.  I do a Q&A with the children and then we do a fun activity linked to one of the stories and relevant to their age group. 

​

Signed copies would be available on the day (I hate the selling part) for anyone wanting a keep sake from the day.  I always donate a signed book to the school library.

​

Here is a note I received from a recent school visit at Meadowcroft school in Chertsey:

 

"What a fabulous way to finish our Book Week!  The children thoroughly enjoyed the book Rats on Roller Skates.  They are so excited to have met a real author – and since the visit have been keen to write their own stories.  Reception Class were making books at their ‘making’ table – even cutting bar codes from other products to stick on the back of their book! The older children have seen story planning in action and are now much happier to redraft and edit their own work.  They have seen the value of taking time in the planning stage.  We now have lots of children telling us they want to be authors when they grow up. If Fiona hasn’t visited your school yet then your children are missing out!"
