The very visible Beatrice and Sara afternoon...

When your sister's completely invisible, and your parents take her side in every argument, sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. Frank has just moved house, again, and this time he wants to stay put. Elizabeth justs wants to do all the things normal teenage girls do, but it's a bit difficult when you are invisible and the people you like can't see you - and when Elizabeth gets miserable, everyone suffers.

This is a brand new story by Beatrice Colin and Sara Pinto, just out in the US and due to be published in the UK very soon. Beatrice and Sara came in to school to talk about the book to Primary Four. Sara read the first chapter to us, and Beatrice the second. It was really interesting to hear the differences between the American version and the UK version as they changed over. They answered lots of questions and explained that while it was great fun writing a book together, you did need a lot of coffee and chocolate to get to the end! There are plans for a second book if this one does well. Judging by the reaction from P4, it will.

As Frank says, trouble is so much harder to handle when you can't see it coming....

Frank Rodgers

Frank Rodgers and Primary Three had a wonderful morning on Tuesday 4th May.

Frank is one of P3's favourite authors, so they were very excited and delighted to have him come in and talk to us. We all sat and listened as he read us his very first picture book, and talked about how he had come to be a writer and illustrator of children's books. And he drew some lovely pictures of a very scary monster,and some dogs, and Wilf the witch's dog who is a great favourite of ours. Frank answered all of our questions, no-one wanted the session to end. We were still chatting as he signed books and the lunch bell rang.

Frank's most recent book is another story about the pirate penguins as they roam the seven seas in search of treasure - and fish!

Moira and Hamish

Well, we all had a fantastic time with Moira and all her pictures of Hamish the Bear who wanted to find his Special Child. We listened and laughed and sang a song about a bear too.

Everyone in Primary One and Primary Two had a brilliant time, for many the best bit was when we all threw our teddies in the air to celebrate.

Thank you Moira for a fabulous author visit.
