Film-maker and Writer Visits School

Matt Dickinson is an adventurer, expedition film maker and author. He thrilled the children in Primary 4 and 5 with stories of his experiences climbing Mount Everest. Based on his experiences, Matt has written a couple of series of books. Many funny stories were told and the children didn’t know which ones to believe! Certainly taking 250 Toffee Crisps on an expedition which led to them exploding at high altitude made us all laugh when his mates thought it was an avalanche. We all know the meaning of ‘gullible’ now 😂 He told them about the importance of reading and after his talk, many of the children bought signed copies of his books. Primary 4 attended a writing workshop led by Matt and Primary 5 all wrote him a thank you letter.

Thank you Matt for an entertaining morning.
