Investigating bird life

At the start of the project, challenge the pupils to take on an independent learning task that will support the themes they encounter within Skellig. Let them choose between: I didn’t go to book groups no, and again I think it’s that thing about the past and the present. You know people say to me “Oh, kids don’t read anymore” and I think “What??” Come and meet the children that I meet. They don’t believe you exist, or believe in you. Just come and see them everywhere I go! These are the young people who love books, they love writing themselves and when I was a teenager, no, we didn’t talk about books really, I only started to do that at 19 or 20 years old, when I went to university. I did have an uncle who was a printer who loved books and I did read a lot with him when I was maybe 16 or 17. Younger than that, not a great deal except I was bought books by my parents for Christmas and then we would talk about the books I’d been bought.
