Today the author Gerry Boland came to our school to talk to us about his poems and stories. When he first came in he introduced himself and read us a few pages of one of his books called Marco Moves In. It was a very well written book. He then read two of his poems to us. Next we got to write our own poems using one of his poems to guide us. After that some people read out the poems they wrote. Finally we got to write any kind of poem we wanted with a bit of help from Gerry. Over all we had a great experience and learned a few tips on writing poems and stories.
