Rachel engaged our students from year 3 to year 8 with stories and books. The students were captivated with her interesting anecdotes about character and how to make stories entertaining. Rachel shared writing tips with teachers to support writing short stories and she took our year 8 students through ideas to help them write stories for a particular purpose.
The Lakes College - August, 2024R.A. Spratt captivated our Year 4, 5 and 6 boys as part of her tour. We were lucky enough to secure her this year as part of our Book Week and she didn't disappoint. She shared valuable insights into her writing process, read excerpts of her latest book, 'Hamlet is Not Ok' and interacted with our young audience with enthusiasm keeping them entertained the full hour! I recommend this speaker to any primary school.
