Stuart Reid -Award Winning Author to visit Derrychrin PS
We will be hosting a visit from the award-winning Scottish author Stuart Reid on Monday 27th March 2023. Stuart’s first book won the Silver Medal at the Forward National Literature Awards. His books were written to inspire children to read for pleasure. Stuart’s latest book 'Grandpa Jock and the Incredible Iron-Bru-Man Incident' was launched at the Edinburgh Festival.
Pupils can purchase books on the day, all signed by the author, with a personal dedication to each child. Book prices are £7 each, two for £12, or a school special offer of five books for £20.
Stuart will begin the day with a book reading assembly and activities with the whole school. He will then deliver separate creative writing workshops with the P5 and P6 children.
At 1:30pm, there will be an opportunity for parents to attend a parents' session on the value of reading with your child. We hope to see as many parents as possible attend. If any parent/guardian is unable to attend, we would encourage an adult family member to attend and experience the very engaging and enthusiastic presentation.
