We're excited to tell you that the children in KS2 (that's year 3 to 6) are participating in a Zoom event on Friday morning with Matt Lucas!  It's all part of some literacy work around his new book The Boy Who Slept Through Christmas.  There might even be opportunity to ask a question at the end!

The Boy Who Slept Through Christmas is a magical Christmas adventure which touches gently on childhood grief wrapped up in a big heart-warming adventure full of family and friends. Readers can listen to more than 20 original songs to accompany the story, bringing the joy of a musical to book form. The lyrics of each of the songs will be available at the back of the book, along with QR codes throughout the book allowing readers to access a website where they can hear the songs and sing along to videos. The book is illustrated throughout by Forrest Burdett. Leo LOVES Christmas. And this Christmas needs to be absolutely perfect, because it’s the first one without Mum. Only it all keeps going wrong! The fairy lights are in a tangle, the tree’s wonky and the Christmas biscuits taste AWFUL. Soon Leo decides he’s had enough – he makes a heartfelt wish that it would all GO AWAY. Then Leo wakes up on Christmas morning – and it’s gone!! All of Christmas! With the help of his best friends, he sets out on a mission to undo his wish and get Christmas back.
