We are Primary 1 Pupils of Hayshead Primary. We were lucky enough to see the Children’s Laureate Julia Donaldson when she visited Angus to celebrate the gifting of her award-winning book, What the Ladybird Heard, to every P1 child in Scotland.
The event on Tuesday 22 November, at The Webster Memorial Theatre, Arbroath, was attended by ourselves and 450 Angus children and was organised by Bookbug, Scottish Book Trust’s Early Year’s Programme, in partnership with Angus Council’s Neighbourhood Services and Education departments.
The multi-award-winning author, who was born in London but now lives in Glasgow, is most famous for her best-selling picture book, The Gruffalo, which we also looked at during our week long event dedicated to all of Julia Donaldson’s books and characters.
