School Visits

This year I’ve been busy with school visits, both online and in person. I present assemblies, lead creative writing workshops, and challenge students to my now infamous True or False Viking Quiz (I remain undefeated, I think it’s the did Vikings wash their hair in wee question which catches everyone out!). I always get loads of compliments for my school visits, especially for engaging with students and bringing loads of energy to the classroom.

 

I also visit schools for World Book Bay and have been a special guest for projects on Anglo Saxon and Viking history.

​

Standard school visits last between 45 minutes and an hour and includes:

• A talk about the books and the inspiration behind them

• A Viking quiz for students

• Readings from the books

• 15-minute question and answer session

This can be for any number of pupils; I have spoken to groups of anywhere between 5 and 500!

​

If you have something specific in mind, get in touch and I'll see what I can arrange.

A 30-minute creative writing workshop for key stage 2 pupils is also available for an additional £75 per workshop. Maximum of 30 pupils per workshop.

 

I will provide an editable letter which can be sent home to parents with information about the visit and am happy to provide signed copies of the books for purchase.
