I so enjoyed meeting all of the treespirits so many of you saw during our readings. Thank you for asking such good questions and sharing your fabulous imaginations - Years 1, 2 and 3. Have fun discovering the ones you see in nearby #epping forest! And for Year 6 students, I am ever so excited to see/read the stories you will be writing this year. Good luck!!

Thank you Oakhill Primary for having me read with Years 1, 2, 3.

From budding scientists to artists, I am looking forward to seeing your drawings and stories about the treespirits you find in #eppingforest nearby.

What fun to read with Year 1 and 2 classes yesterday at @charterhousesquareschool.

Such creative minds. I asked Years 1, 2, 3 “What do you imagine a tree spirit is?”. Lovely answers including, “the trees are alive and so they must have spirits.” #Year3 student
