Year 5 and Year 6 had a fantastically funny afternoon with the best-selling author Tom Angleberger, who is on a week long whirlwind book tour in Britain. Tom is an author-illustrator who has written books featuring the popular characters Rocket and Groot, from the Guardians of the Galaxy series. After explaining that his job is like playing with toys in a sandpit, and making up adventures for his characters, he got Year 5 and Year 6 to make up a story with him right there in the Junior hall! Tom answered lots of questions from the audience, and kept us all laughing. Some students came up to draw for Tom, and one had a paper airplane folding competition with him!
Then everybody got to see how to draw the characters Rocket and Groot for themselves. Tom was so impressed by our drawings that he took photos of them. Afterwards we could buy copies of the series , and Tom not only signed them, but drew characters inside too. He also signed some students' drawings, and added his own creations. What a great day!
