A merry band of S2 pupils and the lovely Ms Beaton from English joined me on a trip to the Edinburgh International Book festival.
\nnever one to miss an opportunity to reduce our carbon emissions we invited along our mirror class from Woodfarm to hop on our bus and come along as well.

Our trip was to see us meet up with two brilliant clifi authors – Kate Kelly, marine biologist and aothor of the clifi novel Red Rock, and Sarah Crosson Carnegie short-lister and author of the environmental novel Breathe. <\/p>\n

\nKate and Sarah both read us little nuggets from their books and told us about their inspirations for their books and thoughts on the environment. <\/p>\n

The tagline for our project in East Renfrewshire is “Can books save the world?” After hearing the two authors I think we might have a tiny glimmer of hope. <\/p>\n

Pupils then has the chance to ask the authors some questions and then the hour was over!
\nWe assembled more neatly than the Avengers in the book signing tent where Kate and Sarah took the time to speak with our pupils on a one-to-one basis and sign books galore. <\/p>\n

It was a great event and certainly gave us all a little more to think about as we move on in our project.<\/p>\n
