Authors in Schools

During the past 5 years, BOOKMARK has invited 3/4 authors, each year, to visit local primary schools in the area,  New Hill, St Stephens, Rattray, Kirkmichael, Alyth, Coupar Angus, Burrelton and Meigle have all benefited.  BOOKMARK is committed to encourage children of all ages, to engage and enjoy reading, listen to stories and question what they have heard.  

What a wonderful day at Rattray Primary School

Molly Arbuthnott entertained Primary 2 and 3, Michaela Morgan was with Primary 4 and 5 and Paul Bristow had Primary 6 and 7 enthralled with his comic story lines.  As well as the authors, the girls from Inspire Theatre Workshops turned all the pupils into SUPER HEROES!

Pupils took part in the Creative Writing Competition with the trigger:  You find a secret door in the school that you've never seen before.  You look through the magic keyhole and see...   Winning entries will be announced soon.

A huge thank you to Jen Geddes, Jacqui Rutherford, Linda Clark and their volunteers for organising such a super day.
