		<description><![CDATA[This morning, we took part in a live school session with Alex Wharton: author of Red Sky in the Morning, Poet&#39;s Warning, Red Sky at Night, Poet&#39;s Delight and Daydreams and Jellybeans.

The session started with Alex discussing some of his favourite books and some of his favourite achievements so far &ndash; sampling the carrot cakes at Buckingham Palace being a highlight! He shared how he became an author and where he gains his inspiration from (lyrics from songs, other poetry books, etc). He also shared his mantra: &lsquo;think twice, write once&rsquo;.

He also shared some of his poetry from Daydreams and Jellybeans. He read with wonderful expression and intonation and it was a delight to hear how he shared his work. When reading &lsquo;Jellybean&rsquo;, he gave the children the chance to respond to his poem and read along with him. He also spoke about how he uses rap as an inspiration when writing his poems &ndash; RAP = Rhythm And Poetry.

During the session, Alex also included some interactive quizzes; this was lots of fun and tested our knowledge! We also had the opportunity to draw some illustrations relating to one of Alex&rsquo;s poems (The Dragon in Question&hellip;). He also challenged the children to think about what inspires them when it comes to writing.

Alex&rsquo;s charisma and quick-talking were really engaging and listening to him share his work and his story was truly inspirational!

What a fabulous, engaging session!
