LOLLIES were great, not only because it was a once in a life time experience but also because of all the famous authors in one room. I felt really good when I got Bad Nana signed!’ Lois We are so very much appreciative of all the lovely kind messages, cards and gifts that we have received, thank you! Having emptied our post box and sent off heaps of cards, pictures, letters and questions to Sophy, we were THRILLED to receive her response in the form of a Q and A session! There was much excitement in the hall as the children listened to Sophy who shared so many fabulous tips with the children. As well as all that, Sophy also shared some TOP SECRET news about her brand new chapter book which she is in the process of writing, including sharing with us some of the early sketches she had done of the key characters. It was such a privilege to see these ideas. LOLLIES has inspired me to keep on reading. I really liked meeting all the famous people like Liz Pichon, Michael Rosen and loads more. It was such a good experience’ Grace

It was wonderful to hear Sophy inspiring the hearts and minds of our little fish and to hear news of new projects. We heard about a brand new picture book on the horizon and helped Sophy decide on the final design for the front cover. We had a sneak preview of the new baddies in Pizazz FOUR which promises to be an absolute treat. We arrived in London with time to take a red bus across the West End and arrive at the ballrooms with plenty of time to meet MICHAEL ROSEN before the show began. The children were superb ambassadors of our school and did lots of laughing out loud! They met a huge number of superb authors and illustrators as well as hearing Julia Donaldson reading one of her books aloud. The hampers are beautiful and such a special treat. We really are very touched by your kindness and generosity and are looking forward to enjoying every single item. THANK YOU!!!!! Participate in discussion about what is read to them, taking turns and listening to what others say. LOLLIES was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I enjoyed it so, so much. It was so cool to know that there was so much talent in the room. I really liked meeting all the famous authors.’ Isla

Give AI a Try!

Yesterday Sophy Henn made her very first visit to Fishbourne Primary as our Patron of Reading and what an AMAZING day it was. The children loved meeting Sophy who didn’t stop chattering all day long… not a moment was wasted. Sophy was bursting of energy and happiness from the moment she arrived to the moment she left – she had all the time in the world for our children and staff. The final postbox collection (both from Sophy’s box and for the Royal Mail) before Christmas and Sophy has a parcel of loveliness winging it’s way to her through snail mail! Nothing makes up for a letter being delivered by the postal service and we hope Sophy will enjoy some of the children’s wonderful creations, questions and words! Sophy’s next visit to us is in March and we simply CAN’T WAIT to see her again!

SuperDuper has enough features to satisfy the advanced user, too. Its simple-but-powerful Copy Script feature allows complete control of exactly which files get copied, ignored, even aliased ("soft linked" for the Unix inclined) from one drive to another! SuperDuper v3.8 requires Yosemite (macOS 10.10) or later, is Sonoma (macOS 14) compatible, and supports both APFS and HFS+ volumes. You need to restore a stable copy of your system, but don't want to lose what you've been working on Then Sophy began her tour of the school starting with Reception class who were enraptured and utterly captivated by Sophy. Our Year 1 and 2 children were especially excited as they have already devoured several of Sophy’s books this term. And on she went- how she didn’t lose her voice is beyond us! Our oldest children were equally fascinated by Sophy and had so many fabulous questions.

During her visit today, we had a Draw-off competition which the little fish LOVED and some of our bigger fish were brave enough to get involved too - well done Mrs Goodman! Even more excitingly, Sophy created one of her amazing 'windows' to leave behind to bring us joy every single day! A brilliant reminder to us all about how important it is to be our own kind of super! Everything Sophy does is related to helping encourage and develop a reading for pleasure culture at our school. This is now your last few days in Year 1! Where has the time gone? You have continued to work hard, you have continued to impress us and make us so very proud of each and every one of you!

We feel so privileged to have this incredibly special link with Sophy, particularly because her books resonate with our core beliefs.
