Trip To Edinburgh Book Festival
Edinburgh Book Festival
Our school want to the Edinburgh Book Festival. Class two went to see an author called Kaye Umansky. She read breath-taking stories and did great impressions of the characters in her books. After that we went to see another author called Chloe Daykin. Chloe had a really funny assistant. Everyone had a clip board we had to write down how many men we saw hiding in her slide show. She wrote a book called ‘The Boy Who Hit Play’ and it was a fantastic book.
Class one went to see an author called Polly Fader and Emily Mackenzie one book was called ‘Picking A Pooch’ they all said it was a great story and that it was was super funny. They loved the main character ‘Pickle’ who was a dog and the author had a puppet on her hand and she ran around the room with it.
After that we all had lunch sitting outside and then some of us got ice cream. It was a great day and everyone got a book from the book shop.
