Elsie the Fishwife and I had a great visit to Maryfield West Care Home today when pupils from Albyn School were making one of their regular visits!
We heard all about the fish wife whose husband caught a magic fish and the residents and pupils loved hearing about Lazy Jack and his exploits! They clapped and sang the chorus of a couple of songs too. Elsie and I had a lovely day!
It’s a snow day today, so no Live Literature visit to Turriff Academy for me today
Instead I’ve been reading over the fantastic work done by the two S2 classes!
One of the homework tasks they’ve been set is to go off and speak to family member or friend to find out some of their own stories.
Pupils asked questions like “What’s the naughtiest thing you did as a child?”
“What was school like when you were younger?”
“Do you have any stories of petty revenge?
“What news story do you particularly remember?”
We’ve had some amazing responses which will be posted on the S2′ Live Literature Residency Blog which you can find here – blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/turriffacademyliveliterature/
