Ed Wicke Author Visit We were delighted to welcome children's author and experienced storyteller Ed Wicke to St. Colmcille's on Tuesday as part of National Storytelling Week. Throughout the day, Ed shared a selection of his stories with our pupils from P1 to P7, giving them the chance to listen, imagine and enjoy tales told by the author himself. A firm favourite among the children was Alicroc - his wickedly funny and mischievous short story about an alien who becomes a nursery school teacher, which had pupils engaged and laughing throughout. The visit was a lovely reminder of the magic of storytelling and the power stories have to spark imagination, build curiosity and inspire young minds. With The National Year of Reading now underway, we remain committed to promoting reading for pleasure across our school community and encouraging pupils to explore the many worlds that books can open. A warm thank you to Ed for spending the day with us and sharing his stories with our pupils.
