Parents and Carers of Year 5 and 6 Children
Dear parents and carers
Workshop with children’s author Niyla Farook
Monday 10th February 2025 - Warley Road Academy
Our Year 5 and 6 and have been invited to Warley Road Academy for an exciting workshop with local children’s author Niyla Farook. Niyla has recently released a funny murder mystery book and will be sharing it with us in a fun and exciting interactive workshop.
During the event Niyla will discuss the well-loved murder-mystery tropes from author Agatha Christie that she drew upon for inspiration and why she loves murder-mystery stories! There will be plenty of fun games including a quiz for students.
We are asking children to bring a £2.00 donation on the day which will help towards the cost of this inspiring experience as well as helping us provide some exciting new books for your children’s classroom.
In addition, if parents would like to order their child a copy of the book, there is a link below and there will be books available for children to have signed and dedicated on the day: https://www.thethoughtfulspotbooks.com/product-page/murder-for-two
Children will be attending the event during the school day and will be supervised by our staff. We will be returning to school in time for lunch. As we are walking to Warley Road Academy, children will need sensible footwear and a waterproof coat.
Thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely
Miss S Cowling
Deputy Headteacher
