A children’s author visited Garton-on-the-Wolds Primary School to spend a day teaching youngsters about story writing.
Christina Butler, who has written stories including One Snowy Night, led workshops with students.
Ms Butler, who was born in Scarborough, draws on her love of nature in her work, and school pupils got into the spirit of her writings by donning animal masks.
A passion for illustration pervades her work, and students enjoyed getting to grips with the art of writing and drawing for children.
