For the Carey Celebrates Literature the year 5 students had a visit by Mark Wilson. Mark is a very good author and exceptional illustrator. Most of his books involve history because that is what he is passionate about. My favourite part about the festival was having my whole lunch to spend time with my buddy. This was really fun because we only get to see them at house every two weeks or if we see them at play time. My buddy and I really enjoyed playing at the Specky Magee football game. We got to kick, handball and mark but most importantly have lots of fun. Something I learnt from Mark was that instead of just starting an illustration you should always start with some warmup drawings. He taught us how to do this and I was really fun.
