The children in Primary 4 and 5 had a very special treat this week. A very famous author came to visit! We have been learning Scots poems and songs, so we were very excited to hear that Mathew Fitt was coming to Balbardie!
We enjoyed learning about Mathew Fitt before we met him. We used his website to find out more information, and we prepared some great questions to ask.
Cody welcomed Mathew Fitt to Balbardie and brought him to class 2. Mathew read some fantastic poems and stories to us. They were very funny.
‘Some of the poems were disgusting!’ Dylan
We listened to ‘King O The Midden’ and ‘The Three little Pigs’ from The Little Book o Fairy Tales.
We learned that Mathew started writing poems when he was in Primary 6 and his favourite subjects at school were Writing and History.
We are looking forward to hearing some more of Mathew Fitt’s stories and poems.
Hi Everyone,
You were very lucky to have a real life author come to visit you all this week. It sounds like you all enjoyed having Matthew tell you about his poems and stories. I’m sure you’re going to enjoy reading more of his work.

Jack was excited to tell me about this when he got home and show me some you tube video clips.
