Primary 6 and 7 had a visit from an author today to kick off what promises to be a fun and exciting book week at St Mary’s! Writer Emma visited our school to share how she became an author and what it’s like to get your fiction and poetry published.

She shared how she writes from her own experiences, why she keeps all her ideas in a diary, and how perseverance (one of St Mary’s School Values) is the reason she has become a successful author and poet.

After an interesting talk, P6 and 7 asked lots of questions about how to become a writer.  However, the main message from Emma was to follow our dreams, no matter what they are, as perseverance will take you far!
