Eventually, after much anticipation, Keith Brumpton, the amazing, famous author, appeared in our school on Friday 7th September 2012! Although he came to our school, he originally came over for The Islay Book Festival. For some odd reason Keith Brumpton came early but Joan Lennon and Linda Strachan (two other fantastic authors) were stranded on the mainland due to the unpredictable mist!
Firstly he told us that he writes scripts for brilliant television shows like 64 Zoo Lane, Balamory and MIHigh but after that he drew scenes from his interesting books. The pictures were amazing (I especially liked the picture of Dino FC). Then he told us his new ideas for books such as Space Bunnies and Meet the Robotsons (I definitely want to buy them!)
After that we told him we made super, creative paper mache dinosaurs and we put a lot of effort into them! Lastly we drew scenes from his books and I drew Pteradonna the amazing Dino FC goalkeeper but best of all he signed our pictures!
My favourite part was when we drew cool pictures! I learnt how to draw proper cartoon pictures. It was an outstanding experience!
