She shared some pictures of the stories she wrote as a child and reminded everyone that no writer, not even J.K Rowling, writes the perfect story on the first draft!Įmily’s books often feature ghosts and magic and she talked about how both can be found in modern life, not just in old stories. Each session began with a short talk from Emily about being a writer and the importance of not worrying about writing perfectly first time, but instead focusing on telling the story you want to tell. This year students from KS3 at Allerton High School hosted pupils from Allerton C of E, Wigton Moor and Alwoodley Primary schools over two sessions. Student Led events are one of our favourite parts of our work in schools as they offer secondary school students the chance to plan, organise, run and an evaluate a day of events for local primary school children. Monday 20 June was our annual Student Led event at at Allerton High School and this year it featured the fantastic Emily Diamand, author of Flood Child and Ways to See a Ghost.
