Damian Harvey

Damian lives in North Wales with his wife Vicky. He has written over 80 children's books and has visited hundreds of schools and libraries in Great Britain and abroad to share his love of reading and writing.

Last week we were lucky enough to welcome the author, Damian Harvey, to Moss Park Juniors over two days. Damian intrigued the children with an assembly, sharing one of his stories using some unusual props; a shoe, a jumper and even a child!

He then spent the remainder of his time visiting each class to complete a creative writing session. Damian and the classes created a unique character based on the childrens' ideas and then they began to build up a story plan. By the end of the session the children had planned out the story and decided on a strong opening.

The sessions proved highly popular and Damian was able to get the best out of the children by crafting their elaborate ideas into a well organised plan.

Thanks Damian!
