We were very lucky to have author Clare Luther spend the day with us yesterday. Clare’s visit coincided with our book week at primary school. Her passion for well-being and mental health resonated deeply with the IB curriculum’s emphasis on holistic education. By encouraging children to openly discuss their feelings, she empowered them to prioritize their mental well-being – a crucial lesson for young learners. Clare’s incorporation of her book series, “The Little Paws Hotel” and “The Animorals,” seamlessly connected literature with various units across the primary school curriculum. Her books not only entertained but also served as valuable tools for instilling important values such as empathy, curiosity, and open-mindedness. Clare’s presence as an author served as a powerful reminder of the impact of storytelling in education. Her ability to engage students and spark their imagination undoubtedly left a lasting impression. Additionally, her connection to ‘Speaking of Books’ provides educators with a convenient avenue to invite her for future events.
Overall, Clare Luther’s visit was a highlight of book week, fostering a culture of literacy, empathy, and well-being within the school community. Her message and stories will undoubtedly continue to inspire students to be thoughtful and compassionate individuals. Thank you, Clare!
