Visiting Author

In Week 10 of Term 1 Kinder, Year 1 and Year 2 had a visit from the author Skye Davidson. Skye chatted to the group and then read to them her new book ‘Archibald the Naughtiest Elf in the world cause trouble with the Easter Bunny’.

The children were beautifully behaved and asked Skye lots of great questions. Skye is a young author based in Noosa and her publisher is a local Canberra company – Elephant Tree Publishing.
