Tuesday 23rd of May was the exciting day that Vince Ford,the Author of 'Somuch2do' and many more awesome books, came into Tomarata School to talk to the hole school about his job, Being an author. We learnt that you can achieve anything by putting your mind to it and sticking with it the whole way. The first story Vince Ford wrote was when he was seven years old. He wrote about two boys going fishing when the tide was getting higher and higher. Eventualy, they climbed up onto a big cliff, while tying to escape the tide. They kept fishing until they wanted to get down. To get down, they called a helicopter to fetch them off the cliff. It was azmazing to see that a famous, New Zealand author went to a small school, just like Tomarata! You never know, some of the students at Tomarata School, May even turn out to be authors, just like Mr Ford. He told us where the ideas for some of his storys came from. One of them was inspired by him accidently burning down a truck! We loved having the amazing Vince Ford come in to talk to us and wish him the best of luck with his next books.
