Lari Don-Mindblinding author event

1 Reply


A huge thanks to all the pupils who took part in the three Lari Don events yesterday.
From breaking the rules of writing to bungee jumpee from volcanoes one thing you cannot say was that reading and writing is boring.

The biggest thanks of all must go to the amazing Lari who came all the way from sunny Edinburgh to spend an afternoon inspiring and encouraging us all.

Even though she is now furiously preparing for the big launch of MindBlind on Friday she still cares about us and has left a bundle of goodies for pupils.

To be able to get your hands on a goody for yourself all you have to do is fill in a quick questionnaire about the event.

Let us know!

Please note: Only those who attended one of the three events are able to take part at this time.

Guinness World Record challenge

On Wed 6th Feb the library will be taking part in a Guinness World record attempt at having the most numbers of people writing the same story at the same time. Over 190 schools have signed up to this challenge and we want in that big book.

All you have to do is come along to the library at lunchtime and write the next 2 yes only 2 lines of a story that has been started off by the lovely author Matt Haig.

If you want to see a copy of the start of the story please come and see Mrs. Baird BEFORE the event so that you can get those creative juices flowing.

You do not have to be a budding Shakespeare to take part you only have to be enthusiastic and willing to support your school.

It should be great fun and a story to tell all your friends for years to come. There is also a rumour that some sweeties might be on hand to inspire!

So, there is no excuse not to come along – this includes staff as well as teachers can take part too.

See you there!

I will keep you all posted as to how well we have done…
