We all enjoyed Tristan‟s visit to Trinity. He spoke about his books and writing in general and about being an ambassador for “Room to Read.”
He shared a few rules about his work A good story is one quarter “Orientation”, half “Complication” and one quarter “Resolution”.
Use a character that wants something, another character that has opposite wants and stakes – what they each have to lose.
The value of music while writing a story to create a mood. He uses Spotify and storyscrapbook.com. The children were amazed with the variety of attributes for a crazy cat using different music.
The importance of detail in the story eg a foot that has been sweaty all day in a school shoe.
Use information from your own life and embellish and exaggerate.
“Two Wolves” took more than 5 years to write because it is quite different.
He read part of a story and then asked children to use some of the above to suggest complications.
He also encouraged children aged 10-14 to submit under 1000 words a story by August 22nd for possible inclusion in his new “My Life..” book.

🧦 Socktober Fun 💛 Our students had a wonderful time celebrating Socktober by wearing their crazy socks creating their very own sockballs! ⚽️ Through this fun and engaging activity, students not only enjoyed getting creative but also learned about the importance of helping others and showing kindness to those in need. We were also delighted to have Father Peter join us, sharing in the excitement of the day and supporting our students as they learned about putting their faith into action. 🙏 Experiences such as Socktober provide meaningful opportunities for our students to put their faith into action by supporting others. 🌏💛 By supporting organisations such as Catholic Mission, our students develop a deeper understanding of social justice and what it means to live out our Catholic values through compassion, service, and care for others. We are so proud of our students for embracing this opportunity and putting kindness into action! 🧦✨ Thank you for your support in helping make a difference. 💛🙏
