Italy and India classes were thrilled to have a drawing workshop with Axel Scheffler, the illustrator of the Gruffalo and many other books. He demonstrated how he draws a character, then read 'A Squash and a Squeeze' to them. After that, he showed them how he draws a Gruffalo, with lots of helpful tips along the way. The children then followed his tips to create their own characters.
