Form 5 had the wonderful opportunity of hearing Cressida Cowell talk about her experience as a writer and her new book Which Way Round the Galaxy. Cressida explained all about her childhood, which gave her inspiration for writing her books, especially How To Train a Dragon. Hearing some Dragonese was definitely the highlight of the talk! At the end, Form 5 were lucky enough to get a photograph with the famous author, and ask her a few questions. They were truly inspired to use their creativity in English lessons back at school!

Thank you to Merchiston for inviting us.
