The whole school enjoyed Stuart Reid’s very energetic and engaging book reading assembly last week.
They learned a lot about what inspires his stories and about techniques that they can use in their own story writing (onomatopoeia, alliteration, ellipsis, visualisation).
Everyone was engrossed from start to finish.
After the school event, both P5/6 and P6/7 enjoyed workshops lead by Stuart.
He talked to them about how to be successful in writing.
Both classes will hopefully put some of his ideas and suggestions into practise.
