Grade 5 attended a digital excursion with the University of Tasmania Alive for Kids program.

It featured Lucy Christopher an award-winning young adult and children’s author from the University of Tasmania and Reading Champion for the Tasmanian Premier's Reading Challenge.

Grade 5 learnt about Lucy’s writing processes, how nature influences her writing and how reading can help you become kinder and more empathetic.

We were able to ask some questions about Lucy’s writing process.

 ‘I thought it was interesting that the Premier’s Reading Challenge will continue to go through the holidays and I liked hearing from an author on the live stream.' Eva

 ‘I have all these books. I am excited to read some for the challenge.’ London

 ‘We were able to ask Lucy questions. We asked about her inspiration for writing.’ Samuel
