We had a great time at the Scottish children’s book awards at the beach ballroom today.  We listened extremely well to the three authors who spoke.  We heard the author of ‘Never tickle a Tiger,’ ‘Mouse’s first night at Moonlight School,’ and ‘Ralfy the book thief.’  We have been reading these books in class so were very excited to see these authors.  You will notice these books in the book bags that were sent home today.

Each author spoke to us, sang, read to us and asked us questions. We particularly liked the author of ‘Never tickle a tiger.’ She was very funny.  The authors gave us some tips for writing our own stories

We are in the process of writing our own book covers for ‘Never tickle a tiger.’  We will post some photos of them when we get them finished.  We have been trying hard to summarise/give clues when writing the blurb rather than telling the entire story.  Mrs Duncan was extremely proud of us all! 🙂
