Book Festival Fun!

The boys and girls of Kirkcolm Primary were very lucky to once again have the opportunity this year to head across to the Wigtown Book Festival for the day!

On Friday the P1-4 pupils set off on their bus journey all the way down to Wigtown (after a quick pit stop to pick up our Leswalt partners!) to go hear an input from Andy Stanton who has published a variety of children’s books. The pupils got to listen to the author discuss their works and then take questions from pupils about their life and works.

Then come Monday, it was P5-7’s opportunity to head down to the book festival!. Once again with our Leswalt peers we departed to hear a talk from Gareth P. Jones who entertained us all with his unique songs about every single book he’s wrote and funny quips!

Overall, both classes had a fantastic time at the book festival and enjoyed the opportunity to experience Wigtown Book Town and all it has to offer. Already excited for the next one rolling around…
