Today we were lucky to be visited by a published author, Ciaran Murtagh as part of his Finncredible book tour alongside Scottish Book Trust.

Boys and girls in P4-P7 were treated to a wonderful, funny and intriguing insight into the journey to becoming and the life of a published author.

Ciaran spoke with the boys and girls about the importance of caring about what you are doing and the positive impact that this can have on your ability to produce a positive end result. Pupils helped Ciaran to create their very own story using only a page from the dictionary and their ideas. Who knew they would end up deciding to write about ‘The Musical Mustard’ and making a very funny story in the process.

Boys and girls spoke afterwards about how much they enjoyed this visit and went away full of enthusiasm for writing.

Thank you Ciaran and Scottish Book Trust for a wonderful visit!
