Children’s author Vivian French launched Reading Force activity at Colinton Primary School, Edinburgh, in March.
Vivian, who has written over 300 books, including The Cherry Pie Princess and Robe of Skulls, became an author later in life as she was told at school she was no good at writing!
At Colinton she told the children ‘You’re all authors,’ and guided them to create characters and conjure up their own story, asking what could happen next and giving pointers on what makes a good tale.
The youngsters came up with a wonderful idea about Jeffrold, an anxious tiger and were challenged to complete the story. Here are some of the fantastic stories written by Colinton children…
