Beverley Naidoo's visit to our school

Beverley Naidoo's response to our work on
'The Other Side of Truth'.

“I loved meeting the children at Woodberry Down and experiencing their enthusiasm about reading a story that reflected something of the world they know. The quality of their work around The Other Side of Truth is outstanding! The way the children have engaged with the novel so creatively and thoughtfully is also a tribute to the way their teachers have ‘led’ them into the story through such a lively cross-curricular approach. How I would have loved to join them on their ‘detective’ journey from Victoria Station to the ‘London College of Art’ on the Number 36 Bus! Perhaps that will also have inspired new stories of their own… as indeed any bus journey can if you listen and look carefully enough. Many congratulations to readers and writers, young and old, at Woodberry Down… and let’s continue to read and write the world!”
