Brian Falkner visits Bluestone

On Wednesday the 28 of April famous author Brian Falkner visited our school.Brian told us a lot and most of it was funny. He acted out Little Red Riding Hood and gave us a thought none of us wanted to hear. Although it was true that the wolf stole grandmas clothes and the sight of her jumping out with no clothes on was funny.
Brian gave us the key to success. It was the two words what and if.He showed us a story graph. It was all so exciting for us.
After the showing of the graph we had a competition of taste testing the cups of different types of fizzy drinks. Annika, Cullen, Josh, Olivia and myself were in the competition. Cullen and I won a book and a pen and the others won the pens too.
After Brain Break five groups of four people competed for prizes in the writing sports. It was so competitive I mean you could tell all the groups wanted to win but in the end the book worm team won the prizes. They scored 93 and our room got 90. It was such a close draw. By lunch time people had Crunchies, pens with the web site of Brian's and even his books. He signed some of them too. It was such a fun filled day.
