Kenneth Oppel Comes To Visit Us

Kenneth Oppel author of award winning Silverwing, Sunwing and Firewing came to visit us on the 31^st of January. The classes of 4^th class, 5^th class and 6^th class came together in the school hall for a talk in which Kenneth Oppel showed and told us about his books. It was a very exciting time and we learnt a lot about him. He showed us slides on bats and some cartoon drawn images of the characters of his story in which is going to become a cartoon series. He answered some of our questions and signed our books. It was great fun and I hope he comes again.
