Having been told I was to have a class named after me, I thought it would be good to follow Oldfield Park Junior School (@OPJS) on social media and get to know them a little bit. I am so glad I did because now I have seen the proof…

Aside from the classic books by AA Milne and Dr Seuss, I wondered why the other authors had been chosen. A little research revealed that one author is dyslexic (definitely a challenge for a writer) and several were former Children’s Laureate, so these have likely been chosen as inspirational authors for the children.

I still find it hard to imagine myself as an inspiration to others, but I believe this photo may help it to sink in. Either way, I look forward to seeing what they make of their books, bookmarks and word searches in September.
