Wednesday, October 2nd.

Author Tamsin Winter promoted her latest book by talking to Years 7 and 8 about the themes it embraces: body positivity, bullying, body image, and the double-edged power of social media.

She described her journey to becoming an author, which began at age eight, and introduced her character – big, bold Jemima Small – who definitely struck a chord with her audience.

Tamsin is an experienced high school teacher and her confident, engaging manner kept everyone interested – even the most reluctant readers, who asked to have copies of her book with their Pupil Premium.

Afterwards, Tamsin signed copies of her book and chatted informally to students.
