Our school’s literature festival

8/5/18

Today, our school celebrated literacy. My favourite part of the day was probably when we were eating our lunch with our house buddies. Whilst we were eating, we also got to share a poem that we chose from several books in a library lesson. This was my favourite part of the day because I loved to hear the expression in my buddies voices as they read their poems.

Right before lunch, an author called Felice Arena came to talk to the year fours about his life and some of his books. I found it quite interesting to hear about some unique stories on how he got the ideas for a few of his books. Something I found surprising was the unbelievable amount of information he needed to right a couple of short books.

Do you know any behind the scene information about an author? If so, what is it?
