Our entry in the Expressive Arts Faculty Rainbow of Hope Competition
Toppsta, the reading recommendation website, gives us an excellent daily overview of all the fantastic read-alouds, interviews with authors and illustrators, activities etc taking place on various online platforms that day. We'll post this update here each day so you can pick what appeals and plan it into your schedule.
Reminder: Hay Festival programme for young people runs from 18-22 May, and the general Festival programme from 22-31 May. Mrs Smith really recommends catching up with Muhammad Khan's session and Patrice Lawrence's talk from 18 May - both really entertaining and thought-provoking. She loved Onjali Rauf and Emma Carroll too!
Missed a session? All are available for a limited time to catch up on Hay Player!
Happy watching, listening and reading!
