In the a ernoon , the Junior House children were treated to an inspiring talk by the author SF Said - a real advocate for perseverance , having wri en over 20 dra s of his first book , Varjak Paw ! SF Said encouraged the children to engage in discussion , and they came out of the workshop empowered to write , s mulated by the sound advice that they can be authors at any age . Buddy reading is always a highlight , as it gives the children an opportunity to impart their love of reading to each other , and the day was filled all sorts of other book-related endeavours , from guessing teachers ’ “ Shelfies ”, designing robot pirates and crea ng woodland homes for Bog Babies to just having some me for quiet reading where the children could absorb themselves in the simple pleasure of books .
