We recently welcomed Ally Sherrick, the author of the popular Black Powder books, to our Academy. Ally spent the morning with our pupil’s sharing the inspirations behind her historical adventures and offering a fascinating glimpse into the life of an author.

During her visit, Ally led an engaging talk about her writing process, how she develops characters, researches historical settings and turns her ideas into exciting stories. The children were captivated by her storytelling and impressed by the real historical events that inspired her stories.

It was a truly inspiring experience, and we are proud of how enthusiastic and attentive the children were throughout the visit.

We feel incredibly fortunate at Pheasant Bank Academy to welcome famous authors into school, giving our children unforgettable opportunities to learn from real writers.
