Primary 1 had been invited to attend a live author’s event run by the BBC. We didn’t even have to leave school. Using technology we logged on to the event from school and were able to watch on our new fabulous smartboard in the community room. The author was Ed Vere and he introduced the children to one of his characters, Max. Ed read us 2 of his stories, “Max and Bird” isn’t even out in the shops yet!  The whole event was interactive and the children absolutely loved being part of this event along with other children in different locations. At the end of the sessions Ed had the children create a simple line drawing of the character Max and sign it as they were now the illustrators. Thank you BBC we loved this event.
