A visit from Jackie Burke

Last month the third class girls had a visit from Jackie Burke, the author of The Secrets of Grindlewood. We are half way through reading the first book of the series and really enjoying it.

Jackie spoke to the group about how to come up with ideas for stories, how to structure them and what to do if they get stuck when creative writing. Jackie also read short pieces from other books in the series. She ended the session with Q & A . There were posters for the best questions and a bookmarks for everyone.

It was a great morning. Check out the website for more information on all the books in the series: https://www.grindlewood.com/
