Our competition winner

Mhairi Bell and Anabel Marsh

Last month, we ran a competition to promote Scottish Book Trust's online event with David Almond. The prize was one of David's books, Clay, and the picture shows me presenting it to our winner, PGDE Primary student Mhairi Bell. Mhairi was delighted to win and, although she had not read any of David's books before, was looking forward to reading this one and using it with the children in her class when she goes on placement.

This was our first experiment with a competition like this, so now that it has been successful we might try it again - watch this space! We are indebted to Scottish Book Trust for providing the prize this time and, if you would like to catch up with the David Almond event, you can watch it on their website now.

I'm also indebted to my colleague, Lynne Marshall,  for taking the photograph.
