It's Booked Up time again. I'm currently running workshops to help pupils decide which book they'd like to have. Once the choosing deadline has passed, I'm also available to promote the list as wider reading, encouraging Y7 pupils to swap books or visit their school library to read other titles from the list.

 

My latest competition has been won by Jessica H, Y11, from Tonbridge Grammar School, Kent, for a quite brilliant poem based on The Crow by Alison Croggon.

If you're involved in the Doncaster Book Award, my Primaries' Week workshops are now fully booked, but you can easily book me outside of that week if budget allows. I'm looking forward to hosting the launch again on Tuesday October 13th.

 

 


If you're ready to discuss requirements or to make a booking, just Email me and I will telephone or email you back as soon as I can.

If you've not worked with me before, browse the 'Workshops' pages to get a better idea. For  more detailed notes, try 'Dave Days in Detail'
