On Tuesday, we were thrilled to welcome the talented children’s author Gareth P. Jones to Notting Hill School, where he spent a magical morning with our Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 pupils. Gareth, known for his books The Dragon Detective Agency, Fairy Tales for the Fearless, and Solve Your Own Mystery, captivated our young readers with his lively storytelling, musical talents, and endless creativity. The children were spellbound as Gareth brought his characters to life with his engaging voice and infectious energy.
Throughout the session, Gareth encouraged the children to let their imaginations soar, reminding them, “Don’t be afraid to let your thoughts run wild!” The students were left giggling and wide-eyed as they listened and sung along, inspired to create their own stories and adventures.
We’re so grateful for the opportunity to host such a joyful event, and the children are still buzzing with excitement, carrying Gareth’s message that stories are everywhere, just waiting to be discovered. I can see his books flying out of the library going forwards!
