76 S2 and S3 pupils (and 7 staff) from Kyle Academy had a fantastic time at the very sunny Edinburgh Book Festival this year! Kyle pupils enjoyed a fantastic session from Kevin Crossley-Holland who took them behind the scenes of how he researched his new novel, Bracelet of Bones, set in the Viking era.
Benefits for pupils : the chance of meeting a 'real live' author can provide the incentive to get fully engaged in reading and writing projects at school. Thanks to the parents of pupils as well as the EBF Travel Fund who made this trip possible. Roll on 2012!
