Both classes recently enjoyed a trip to Wigtown Book Festival to hear from authors.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, Renita Boyle led us in a sing-along session to warm us up!\u00a0 Primary 5-7 heard from Phil Earle and Cathy Mc Phail.\u00a0 Primary 1-4 saw Shoo Raynor and Emily Dodd.\u00a0 A great time was had by all!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Phil Earle told hilarious stories and kept the audience laughing with his inventive stories.\u00a0 We heard all about how he came to write “Demolition Dad”.\u00a0 Cathy Mc Phail’s books were very different.\u00a0 They were very dark and almost scary!\u00a0 We all saw a trailer to advertise “Another me” one of her books which has now been made into a film.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Emily Dodd told us about her book \u2018Can\u2019t Dance Cameron\u2019 . This is all about a sad capercaillie called Cameron who believes he is a rubbish dancer. We talked about lots of types of Scottish wildlife when reading the story \u2013 a pine-marten, a red squirrel and a wildcat. By the end of a story, Cameron shows he is a great dancer. Some of us bought this story and Emily signed it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Shoo Rayner is an author and illustrator. His latest book is called Dragon Gold and is about Harri who is set the challenge of \u2018making\u2019 a dragon for school! Shoo also has two YouTube channels about drawing. Why not Google these and try out one of his tutorials?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Our very own Euan \u00a0was chosen from the audience to try drawing with Shoo. What an excellent job he did! Check out the photos to see for yourself!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Quite a few of us bought Shoo\u2019s book which he signed too.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We had such\u00a0 lovely days in Wigtown\u00a0and the children were so well behaved. Smiles all round!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
