Vivienne French,
the well known childrens author, visited Papdale recently along with a
group of Edinburgh University students who were doing a book illustration
course.
Vivienne led a week of workshops with our P4 children where they discussed their ideas for a fantasy tale with an Orkney twist. Once the story was formed it was then up to the Edinburgh University students working in collaboration with the children to come up with fantastic illustrations to make the story come to life. The children made the most of this opportunity and had a fantastic time.
Radio Orkney came along on the last day to do a feature for their morning programme which included interviewing some of the children who spoke very well. The results of the weeks work were also displayed on Parents night.
