On the weekend of the 8th Septemeber Port Ellen was once again host to the Islay Book Festival, with lots of well known authors visiting to share their experiences.

We welcomed some of the children’s authors into the school.   Here is what the children thought:

In the P6/7 class room the famous author Joan Lennon came in to talk to us about her exiting new books: The Case of the London Dragonfish, The Case of the Glasgow Ghoul and the Case of the Cambridge Mummy! In class we have been reading The Case of the London Dragonfish. We were asking her lots of questions like: What inspired you to write?; What was your first book you wrote? And-What age were you you started writing? We found out lots of information! Next year I wish we will have another author as good as Joan Lennon.

On Friday Kieth Brumpton visited p4/5 to talk about his stories. One of the stories were Kung fu Pigs. I love it because pigs are awesome. I love  Kieth brumpton because his stories are amazing. He was  imaginative and he was very interactive with the audience. I loved his drawing of Kung Fu Pigs and Dino FC, then we drew our own Kungfu Pigs and Dino FC  and he signed them.
