This year, four students from Years 1-6 were lucky to go the the Annual Bookfeast at Burwood RSL club with Miss Hackney.
We got the opportunity to meet over 30 authors and illustrators, get their signatures, and listen to guest speakers.
We shared a table with Cabramatta West Public School, and the author was Kate Forsyth. Kate was only there for two hours, but we asked all the questions we could while she was there! We also got to meet her sister Belinda Murrell who is the author of the ‘Lulu Bell’ series.
At the end of the bookfeast, we shared a special experience with Nick Falk (author of the ‘Saurus Street’ series) and his illustrator Tony Flowers. They drew each of us a personalised ‘Saurus Street’ illustration and beat us in a question contest.
At the end, when some of the authors had gone home, some students from other schools thought Miss Hackney was an author and even asked for her signature!!!
We love Bookfeast!!!
