Please note this is a location based event at Dagenham Library

NB: Ideal for children aged between 7-12 years old

Join local children’s author, Nicholas Kasparis for a reading and writing workshop

Nicholas Kasparis will be discussing his writing journey and influences, followed by reading from his latest book, Ralph and Robort.

The session will also include writing activities where children would imagine they are the main character, Ralph and they are being bullied. They would write a diary account including the main events, how they are feeling, and who they could talk to. Children would also need to include the main features of a diary, such as first person, chronological events, and past tense.

The main aim of this session is to encourage and promote the love for reading and there would be an opportunity for parents to purchase a signed copy of the book.

If you have any accessibility requirements, please directly get in touch with us at pentoprint@lbbd.gov.uk
