The Reading Club speak...

...about their meeting with Catherine MacPhail.

I really enjoyed my visit to meet Catherine MacPhail. I loved the fact that she made up stories on the spot and used our names in them. Some of the stories were very funny and some were quite spooky.

Catherine MacPhail was excellent! She told us all about how she makes her stories and what inspired her to write them. She answered all our questions about her books and made up stories on the spot! She really was brilliant.

She told us stories from her books and some she made up after taking names and words from the audience. She gave us a little advice about how to write our own stories. I really enjoyed meeting Catherine MacPhail last wednesday.

For more info about Catherine check out her website http://www.macphailbooks.com/ and why not borrow one of books from the LRC. The Nemesis series is very popular at the moment and I can highly recommend Worse Than Boys and Catch Us If You Can.

Catherine Macphail

On Wednesday the Reading Club popped along the road to the local library to meet Catherine Macphail. We thorougly enjoyed hearing all about how she comes to write her stories and where she gets her ideas from. But I am not going to say anymore about the visit as the Reading Club will be sharing their views here next week.

Reading Club

Reading Club will kick off for the new term on Tuesday 28th August from 3.30pm to 4.30pm. Anyone with a keen interest in books and reading is vey welcome to attend. Transport home or a bus pass extension can be arranged for those who live further afield.

Last year we had a great time getting involved in reading activities, creating displays, shadowing book awards, organising events and generally having fun. This year should be even better!!

If you have any questions please speak to me, Ms Colquhoun in the LRC or to Miss Sharpe in Rm1.01.

I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
