It was a normal day in Port Ellen primary but then Nadine Aisha Jassat came in to speak to us, she was speaking about her stories and how every story had a bit of her in them.
She also said how her parents met, one lived in Africa and one in the UK and they met because both went on a trip to the same place.
At some point we got to say story name ideas to go on the board then she asked people to come up and one person would say a part of the story the next person would say the next. She did a thing where she would pick a random story and that was the one they would make up, the story name chosen was the mystery of the mountain, they made it about a tree house on the mountain.
Then we did a poem thing where we had to say positive things to put in a poem, it went like this “We are here for you, you are always so good at everything you do, so go out and do your best.”
At the end she sold some of her books that were signed by her. She was fantastic!
