An Inspiring Day with Author, Adam Bushnell

November 10, 2025 by ameliagrimes

We were thrilled to welcome author Adam Bushnell to Nettlesworth Primary School for a truly inspiring day of storytelling and creativity!

Adam began the day with a whole school assembly, where he shared his journey as a writer and showed the children how storytelling can become a lifelong passion and even a career! His energy and enthusiasm sparked imaginations across every year group.

  • EYFS were transported to outer space, creating imaginative oral stories filled with rockets, aliens, and adventure.
  • Years 1 & 2 stepped into enchanted woodlands, crafting magical characters and exploring the wonders of nature through storytelling.
  • Year 3 unleashed their creativity with mighty metal superheroes, writing exciting narratives full of action and heroism.
  • Years 4 & 5 delved into the world of traders and raiders, sparking curiosity about history and the lives of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons.
  • Year 6 explored the theme of revolution, engaging in powerful discussions and writing that reflected change and resilience.

Adam Bushnell’s visit truly ignited imaginations and set the tone for a term full of creativity, curiosity, and learning. We’re so proud of the children’s enthusiasm and the incredible work they produced!
