During her time at the school, she read her book to Nursery pupils and delivered assemblies for both KS1 and KS2 pupils. In these sessions, she introduced her book Lark the Shark through an interactive reading, answered questions from the pupils, as well as the important messages behind her story.

At the end of the visit, Natalie stayed after school to sign copies of her books for pupils on the playground, bringing a memorable close to an inspiring day.
