Thank You Recital for Nick SharraTt

6/3/2021

Author and illustrator Nick Sharratt joined Cookham Dean school for Maidenhead's Big Read on World Book Day to tell children all about his books and how to draw some of the beautiful illustrations in them. Nick's sessions went extremely well and the children produced some fantastic artwork. Cookham Dean Headteacher Fenella Reekie gave a short poetry recital at the end to thank Nick for his session. Here is her poem.

We’d like to thank you so much Nick
You taught us to draw and you taught us quick

To draw a king in a royal crown

A frog on a lily pad jumping up and down

A parrot on a pirate squawking in delight

And a troll eating goat pie in the middle of the night.

You’ve inspired us to try something different, quite new

And given us ideas during lockdown to do

So we thank you, with our hearts, very much indeed

But we leave you now, we’re going off to read!



Fenella Reekie
Headteacher, Cookham Dean School

Here are some lovely thank you messages from Year 2 at Cookham Rise school who enthusiastically took part in Arti and Jane's Once Upon a Bus storytelling session. One of the books they read was Stick Man and clearly it went down very well with all the children.
