It was amazing how willing so many pupils were to do this despite not knowing what they were letting themselves in for! One of the other stories in this book has a mystery body being washed up on the beach in Dorset carrying false identity papers which Emma based on an actual event.<\/p>\n<p>Form 5 took part in a workshop on characterisation which they are studying in their English lessons. Emma gave them some new techniques of developing characters without describing what they look like or what they are wearing. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-39851\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cranprep.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CPS-Patron-of-Reading-Emma-Carroll_s-workshop-5664_86270-250x167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\"><\/p>\n<p>Whilst in school, Emma was also interviewed by George B for <em>The Buzz<\/em>, so look out for the first issue later this term.&nbsp; She will visit the School again in February and in the Summer term 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please follow the link below to watch the highlights of the day:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Patron of Reading\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/361466655?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a delight to welcome Emma Carroll, our Patron of Reading, for her first school visit last Friday, which proved to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39855,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[126,131,140],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-academic","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
