A very special visitor!

We were very lucky to be chosen as one of only 25 schools in Northern Ireland to receive a visit from Myra Zepf. Myra is an author and she is also Northern Ireland's first Children's Writing Fellow. She is in charge of a new project to inspire young people to write stories. She came to visit our class to read us one of her books and getting us thinking about how we could write interesting stories. We had a great time brainstroming ideas for characters and stories and now we are all going to write a story for her!
