Last friday, the Year 5,6,7 and 8 Extension groups got to work with Tommy Wilson, or better known as Uncle Anzac, the author of some of our favourite books, such as Kapai Kiwi. We got to have a workshop on that day with the amazing author.
Telling us about his life and career was really inspiring for me. At assembly, he told us about his butler career and getting the opportunity to meet Nelson Mandela. I was pretty surprised when he said that he had met him.
It was a really great because he taught us a lot of good techniques in writing, which I now use:) He helped us create a story about an ancient touchstone that had been stolen from our school and we had to go find it. Getting our story line in a short amount of time was a pretty amazing achievement.
