Donna Seim, author of ‘Where’s Simon, Sandy?’ came once again to visit us and share with us her wonderful story about a local, Grand Turk, donkey that wouldn’t quit. Children in JK through to Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed the story and took the opportunity to ask Donna lots of interesting questions about it and about being an author. David Bowen, our Director of Culture, accompanied her, bringing his trusty blow-horn conch shell with him. What a noisy shell it is!
Donna’s book won a ‘Mum’s Choice Award’ last year and certainly got the thumbs up from our children. Thank you again, Donna.
Donna has also worked hard to connect our school with a school back in her home town in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Children there wrote penpal letters to our Years 2, 3 and 4 children and they have written back to them. Unfortunately, our letters are still travelling in the post. Fingers crossed they won’t take too much longer to arrive. We look forward to our next letters and seeing Donna again the next time she comes down to visit.
One of the many highlights of my job as principal is when there’s a knock at my door, and some smiley faces appear, eager to share with me the outstanding work they’ve been doing in class.
