Cheltenham Literary Festival 2020 2nd - 11th October
Monday 12 Oct 2020
In 2020 the Cheltenham Literature Festival held a series of online talks and workshops for schools. Throughout the week, pupils in English lessons enjoyed listening to the guest speakers and engaging with some amazing creative ideas.
In Mr Licqurish’s 10s class today, the group watched #KatherineRundell read The Good Thieves as part of @CheltLitFest
The class then did some imaginative writing of their own that was inspired by the video.#CheltLitFest #SwanbourneSpirit pic.twitter.com/U6ua8Hdj1h
