Chris Love LIVE from the US by Video Conference
How did that happen? It’s a whole year and LCGS Seniors are at it again.
- 8 pm Photocopy & binder homage and books in. Watch out for on-line copies soon…
- Mr. Grubert has just walked passed “It’s 8 PAST 7”
- 7.05 and chatting with Chris in Seattle, Mr. & Mrs. Norris are been visiting everyone and Mr. Grubert is waiting for a deluge of new books in electronic format. Then it’s time to bind. The countdown is on.
- It’s after 6 PM and after a group meeting & pizza for 50, deadlines are looming. The writers and publishers are calm under pressure.
Almost a complete nutritious meal.

Write a Book in a Day Competition – midday update 2 from Mr. Grubert
- We are five hours in with seven hours remaining. Most teams have finished a first draft of their work and are reading through their chapters to check for quality, continuity etc. Feet are up, shoes are off and no-one is observing the “Do NOT eat” signage in the Learning Hub.
As a sidenote, some of you will know new student Catherine Kerr. In case you don’t, check out one of her “sketches” of Holly Feather, one character from her team’s story…
