“Laurel’s presentations to Year 6 & 7 about her ‘Secret Cooking Club’ books and her life as a writer both excited and inspired the girls. They loved the interactive elements including acting out a script for an imaginary ‘Great British Bake Off’.”
Howell’s School, Wales
“The children had a fabulous day. Laurel engaged so well with all age groups, inspiring great interest and creativity. Giving top tips for engaging the reader really helped the pupils in their own story writing. An added bonus - the children left not only wanting to read and write, but also bake!”
The Headmistress, St Hilarys School
I can recommend Laurel as an ideal person to work in schools to inspire pupils to read and write based on her visit with us.”
Sue Buckley, Waverton Good Reads Children's Award organiser
Some schools plan student bake-offs in conjunction with my school visit days. In person visits involve an interactive skit or role-playing.
