| Children of Oakridge International School, Hyderabad, India |
This is exciting news. I've got the first SKYPE Author School Visit arranged for Thursday 28th March 2013.
I'll be talking to the children of Oakridge International School, Hyderabad, India, and showing them some slides with the characters and scenes from my Kernowland in Erthwurld series.

I'll also be telling them about the work of an author and answering questions.

It has to be at 8.00 a.m. here because of the time difference. It will be 1.30 p.m. at their school in India.

There have been a lot of schools asking for visits but I'm finding it hard to get to all the schools as well as writing the new Thirteen Things series of books. SKYPE visits seem to be a good solution, especially for international schools outside the UK.

These video-link SKYPE visits can be for schools in the UK or anywhere else in the world. I have already physically visited over 1,000 schools in the UK but, using this technology, many more schools can have an author visit.

The full address of the school is: Oakridge International School: Newton Campus, Khajaguda, Nanakramguda Road, Cyberabad, Hyderabad - 500008, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA.

ReplyDeleteHello, Kiranmai. I am also looking forward to answering the questions and meeting the children in the Skype Session. I have visited over 1,000 schools in the UK and spoken to 200,000 children in my shows and talks but this will be the first time I have visited a school using Skype. Campion Books have sent some pictures, quizzes, and other resources for the class discussions about Kernowland in Erthwurld to Veena on email. Best wishes, Jack.
DeleteHello Sir, We are from 5J and we are looking forward for the Skype Session with you. We have read your book " The Crystal Pool". We liked Melanchol Drym & dribble a lot. We also love Mr. SAND a lot. He is so nice. We thank you to write such interesting and wonderful book. We also thank you for your precious time.- Siddharth, Shawn, Kashish, Arnav
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Siddharth, Shawn, Kashish, and Arnav. I'm very pleased that you like some of my characters, both villains like Mr Drym and and heroes like Mr Sand. Dribble the dust-dog is a very popular character with children when I visit schools in the UK. Perhaps it is because they feel sorry for the poor little dog when Mr Drym is so nasty to him. I look forward to speaking to you and the other children next week. Best wishes, Jack.
Deletei, I've read the book called Kernel and the Crystal Pool and I think your imagination has no limit and I have heard that you are a great author-Jyoshika 5F
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Jyoshika. The great thing about imagination is that it does not have any limits for anyone. We can all imagine anything so we can all be authors! Best wishes, Jack.
DeleteI am Anika from class 5f I read the article about Kernowland And thecrystal pool. I think it will be awesome to read your book and skyping with you.
