P4\/5 are learning about the Vikings this term and have been reading a book called “The Chessmen Thief” by Barbara Henderson.<\/p>\n

The book is about the Lewis chessmen and their journey, and part of the book takes place in Orkney. In linking up with Orkney Library, we were able to invite the author to visit us!<\/p>\n

Barbara read some of the book to us, tested our Viking knowledge (she declared us to be Viking experts!) and also gave us an insight into the writing and publishing process. She was very impressed with our questions and ideas, she even tweeted about our reflective\u00a0reading covers as she loved our artwork! It was fantastic to meet the author behind our class novel and we are now looking at her other books to see what we could read next!<\/p>\n
