On 20 September Year 8 had a visit from Tony Lee a graphic novelist.

When I sat down ready for assembly, I thought it wasn’t going to be fun, but then he started to talk about ‘Change the Channel’ it was quite interesting the way he hated reading, but when he found comics and graphic novels he soon loved to read. Afterwards he got a few students up on stage and we did our own version of Robin Hood, which was very funny.

Then after the assembly two at a time forms went out to the English area to do Tony Lee’s Workshop. We had an hour to listen to a story about a lady and her puzzle which we heard the first part of in assembly. He told us the second chapter. We had to make
up the third chapter in groups and then tell our group’s story. All of Year 8 had a great time with Tony Lee and I hope he comes back again.
