The Pupil Council meet author Lari Don

They say you should never meet your hero. Well Hermitage Park met their Hero, the Scottish award winning children’s author (and former Hermie parent) Lari Don and we were not disappointed!

She stayed the whole day to work with all classes, reading extracts from her books, story-telling, book signing and offering creative writing tips. All the children agreed the event was just as magical as her books.

The children are going to use this inspiration to be creative readers and writers with their buddies.
