Margaret Mahy



Today we read this book by Margaret Mahy to remember her and her awesome books. What can you find down the back of the chair at your place? Leave a comment below to tell us what you discover. Will you find money? Or crumbs? Or elephants drinking tea??

We have also read "A Summery Saturday Morning" and "Me and my Dog". We think that Margaret Mahy must really like dogs!

Here is our weekly update from Kaitlyn and Amelia.

"Margaret Mahy wrote a lot of books. They are really cool. This week we have been learning to write stories, which are also called narratives. We're learning about where it is (our setting) and the characters, the people in the story. Then there is a problem and they solve it! My character is called Space Alien (Amelia), and mine are Kitty and Puppy (Kaitlyn). We have been at school for 105 days, which is one group of 100 and 5 ones. We are also learning to add and subtract by tens."

What a great update girls! Continue to learn the sign language to 'Stand Tall', Ruma Ono and enjoy watching the Olympics this weekend.

Go New Zealand!!
