Our year 8 students were enthralled when award-winning author Chris Bradford visited Oathall recently. Author of three main series and lots of shorter books, he focused on his first and most popular series, Young Samurai. Our students watched as he demonstrated his skills with the katana (Samurai sword), and they volunteered to come up and serve as his models for various activities, all focused on bringing his books to life. He proved that books are full of adventure, excitement and built a real atmosphere of curiosity that will have them intrigued for a long time.
