We were so lucky to have the author Phil Cummings speak to us today. He told about where he gets his ideas for books from. As soon as he gets an idea he has to write them down. Do you know he has even written the outline of a story on a Qantas sick bag?! It might take up to a year to write a book and then many years until it is ready to be published.He needs Persistance and Resilience because the publishers often send Phil’s work back to him with corrections he needs to make. Phil can’t draw very well so he has to find an illustrator to draw the pictures for him. Phil said that sometimes it takes avery long time before he has just the right word to add to a story. Phil Cummings told us some wonderful stories and he made us laugh a lot! We can’t wait to read some more of his wonderful stories!

I loved the visit from Phil Cummings. He made me laugh. I think the whole class loved the visit as well.
What an emotional and moving performance! The choir sounded AMAZING!
Craigburn Primary is lucky to have had the opportunity to hear Phil Cummings, and benefit from his experience!
Wow it looks liked you loved hearing from Phil, do you think any of you would like to write stories when you are older?
