Samantha Wheeler Author Visit Year 3-6
Year 3-6 students enjoyed a visit from Brisbane author and champion storyteller Samantha Wheeler in Term 1, 2018. Samantha shared her passion for animals and the environment, where she finds her inspiration and how she creates tension in her stories; challenging her characters and their problem solving skills. Her ideas and experiences ignited the students’ imaginations and encouraged them to consider how they can make a difference in their world. Selected students took part in a ‘Breakout Writing Session’ and every year level from Year 3 - 6 participated in a persuasive or narrative workshop.
Samantha has written five novels and has won numerous awards for her work. Her children’s books include; Smooch & Rose, Spud & Charli, Mister Cassowary and Wombat Warriors. Her fifth book, Turtle Trackers was launched in 2018.
