The Girl Who Stole an Elephant

Award winning author meets Y4

Today it was the turn of 4L and 4T to meet Nizrana Farook, author of our class novel "The Girl Who Stole an Elephant". The children learned lots more information about Sri Lanka, the book and the job of being a writer.

Best of all, they got to ask questions about the book to Nizrana herself, and test out their theories and queries about the story. We also got some secret information about her upcoming work and a teaser of the next book before it is even released.

The children listened brilliantly and where an absolute credit to the school with some genuinely outstanding and insightful questions- Nizrana has said that she was amazed by the insight and reading skills the DJS children have shown.
