AUTHOR VISIT – 7TH MARCH

Exciting News! P4-7 Author Visit – Friday 7th March

We are really excited about an upcoming event in our school.  We have invited the author Simon Lamb to visit our school to lead an assembly for P4-7 pupils.  Simon is a really funny and engaging author and we are so lucky to have him coming to visit.  Each pupil will be allowed to invite along one adult guest if they wish to do so.  There will be an opportunity to buy Simon’s book as Sarah from the Book Nook will be accompanying Simon on the day.  Pupils will be asked to preorder the book prior to the visit and the first 33 children to preorder will be involved in a workshop taken by Simon following the assembly. More details to follow!
