Author Sue Whiting Visits Year 5 and Year 6

Sue Whiting, an author of multiple books, visited Year 5 and Year 6 in the Senior School Library on Friday 21 October. She spoke about her books and experiences and explained her inspiration behind three of her books.

Her latest book Tilda was partially based on the little information she knew of her grandmother. It tells the story of a young girl Matilda who lives in an orphanage in Adelaide while her father fights in the Boer war. After talking about her books, she had some students participate in a quiz based on the year 1901, the year her book is set. It was a very fun and enjoyable time.
