This year each class have been paired with an author and ours is Julia Donaldson.Over the term we will be learning all about our chosen author so please keep an eye on all the exciting things we do.
Welcome to Julia Donaldson Class Page
Julia Donaldson CBE (born Julia Catherine Shields; born 16 September 1948) she is an English writer, playwright and performer, and the 2011–2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom and Stick Man. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree.
