With pupils from Muckhart Primary School
Fingal chose to read one of his favourite books from his own childhood: the unforgettable ‘Captain Duck’ from the Fix it Duck Collection to the P1/2 class he visited. The pupils loved it. It was so thrilling for them to have – not just a boring teacher, but a mostly-adult person from Dollar Academy read aloud to them… and he was once a Muckhart pupil, too! This return to his old primary school made the trip a meaningful one for Fingal, too: ‘It was just so nice,’ said Fingal, ‘to be able to go back to my old school. So many Dollar sixth-formers get to go and read to the kids in the Prep School, where they were often pupils themselves. This was just a lovely chance to re-visit my own primary school experience.’
