Pupils from both Everest classes have been creating their own graphic novels based on the life of the amazing Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Pupils could focus on any aspect of his life; from his early years, to his climbing achievements to his legacy.
Take a look at the brilliant work:

Comic Clinic with Metaphrog
As part of our Unmasked project we met up with our counterparts from Woodfarm and our experts Glasgow graphic artists Metaphrog.
The lecture theatre was awash with creativity as our groups moulded and developed their stories guided by our knowledgable guests.
Questions on storyboarding, drawing, setting scenes and creating effective dialogue were all answered with a flourish.
I am sorry to say that this is the last time we will be meeting with John and Sandra; AKA Metaphrog but they have promised to keep in touch and answer any questions we might have. In return I have promised them a copy of our finished work.
A great day and thanks to everyone who put in so much effort… keep up the great work and many thanks to the Scottish Book Trust for helping us fund this brilliant event.
