Today, Second level children (P5-P7) enjoyed a visit from David Goutcher, who writes spy novels for children.  David spoke about his life and previous careers as a policeman, secret agent and games developer.  The novels we looked at were very interactive – with layers of technology
embedded within them – and the boys and girls were engrossed.  P5 children said:

“I was shocked when he told us that he was an agent, and all the things that he had done like going undercover and trying out lots of different gadgets.” Hollie

“The visit made me think more about how technology is developing and all the things we can do with it – how things can come alive”. Owen

“I thought that all the technology used in the book was really interesting because you can see a lot more than just looking at a book.”  Dominik
