On the Friday before, and the Monday after Halloween, I visited six more schools to read out spooky stories. I enjoyed myself. At one school I read out at assembly, to about two hundred children from nursery school age, to P7. At another school everyone gathered to listen – about thirty in all! At a special school all the children listened very intently; and at one primary school I was cross-quizzed for what seemed like hours on the exactly what the Grumpy Browns had been up to when they tied string to their front door. I even had to give an autograph!
So thanks are due to:
Troon Primary School
St Patrick’s Primary School
Muirhead Primary School
Fisherton Primary School
Invergarven Special School
Minishant Primary School.
I ended up reading five different stories:
Nearly Nine
The Grumpy Browns
Wheelybins
Christmas Wishes
Wings
I think Wheelybins and The Grumpy Browns went down best. Useful information, as I shall probably be visiting another round of about ten schools in the new year!
