The entire senior school enjoyed the knowledge that Des shared with us. He started by sharing his background, making a connection with us. Des then cleverly used science concepts, specifically chemistry and physics ideas to illustrate the challenges and successes that he has faced during his writing career. The way that he approached this problem solving was inspiring and you will see the impact this had on some of us as authors by reading our thoughts on our individual blogs.
We would like to thank Des and his wife Lynne for coming to visit and also Mrs Law and Ms Sands for organising the day. We also have a hot dog sale coming up later in the term that you can support that helps us to get more of these exciting opportunities in school.

ReplyDeleteHi Manukau learners,
ReplyDeleteWOW what a great opportunity to have Des Hunt come and visit your and share his experiences with you. I googled Des Hunt after reading your post and his books look amazing. I am going to look out for them in the schools that I visit and if they don't have them make a suggestion to their school library person. Is there a particular book that you would recommend?
