In p4-7 class the author was called Janis MacKay and she came in and did some fun writing activities with the class. The first activity was we had to continue a part of a book she read called The Reluctant Time Traveler.&nbsp; After we had written a few sentences we had to pass our work to the person on our right and then they had to right a sentence or 2 but continuing in the same style as the other writer. It was a fun little activity and she told us about how she became a writer and different places shes lived and questions linked to them. She also told us stories about how she was inspired to become a writer and what gave her ideas on what to write about.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday 28th of September in p1-3 they had another author called Alan Dapre and he was talking about his book called Porridge the Tartan Cat.&nbsp; P1-3 did a little activity where Alan read them a segment of the story then they got to make up their own characters and show what the character was feeling.&nbsp; For example people drew spotty guinea pigs, unicorns and different patterned cats and things like that.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Orla Campbell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday 28th of September 2 authors came to Port Ellen primary.
