Steve Cole Author Visit - World Book Week!

Bestselling author Steve Cole visited Winston today, to present an assembly to our Year 7 students! The kids thoroughly enjoyed listening to Steve who told us all about his career, how and why he became a writer, and a little bit about some of the 251 books he has written.

Steve's book Swarm Rising co-written with Astronaut Tim Peak, is his latest book. Steve spoke to students about the creative process behind the book, where the inspiration of the characters came from, his passion for space, and held a quiz about some really cool space facts. Did you know...on board the ISS, in 24 hours the Sun rises and sets sixteen times?!

60 lucky students were chosen by their English teachers to participate in a smaller workshop where Steve spoke about his Young Bond series. Interacting with students about what makes a spy, what weapons have been used and, what they are, who James Bond is, and the idea behind each Bond book he has written! He even signed some Steve Cole postcards for students to take away as a souvenir of the day.

It truly was a fantastic visit, packed with information and a lot of laughs!

Thank you Steve!
