Local Author, David Donohue visits Wandesforde School!
On Friday, 23rd March 2012, local author, David Donohue visited our school as part of the Writer’s in School Scheme to promote literacy in schools. Over the past few weeks the children have been busy reading and listening to his novels: Walter Speazlebud, Alien Timebomb and Moon Man.
The children really enjoyed David’s storytelling workshop and of course the highlight of the workshop was spelling words backwards for David and also hearing David say their own names backwards!!
Many children received their own cerificate for spelling backwards from David.
Thank you to David for also presenting the star book token to the winners of the In-School Art Competition. It made the children’s day to have their full name called out backwards as well as receive an award from a well known author!!
