Alec Williams, celebrated storyteller, visits BGS

Alec Williams got a warm welcome from 60 Year 8 pupils on Thursday 28 February. He was visiting our library and used the opportunity to tell stories and read poems. Staff and pupils alike were soon in fits of giggles, especially when he intoduced us to a book called "Laugh Out Loud". His stories were fascinating, and I can't wait for him to return.

Alec Williams started by introducing himself and telling a few jokes. He read from a large number of books, including " Excuses, Excuses" and my favourite "Two Frogs". The jokes were funny and the stories gripping. I especially liked the section of the book about boy soldiers which he read; I'll definately try to find and read that book myself. We presented him with a present so that he would remember his short time in Bangor. Everyone was talking about how good the afternoon was as we were walking down the corridor on the way back to class.
