Author visit, Mater Dei Primary School   (Teacher: Kathy Golightly)

Emma visited our school in the lead up to the recent Year 3/5/7 Testing. She spoke with vigour and passion about her journey of writing and publishing a book. The children thoroughly enjoyed the presentation, learning much about how to treat their audience when writing, how to plan a narrative and how to effectively use a storyboard. Emma sparked a real enthusiasm in the children for writing. What a glorious gift indeed!

Thanks, Emma.
