Book week stuff

Last week was really busy
First we had a visit from Kate De Goldi, a new zealand author that we have been learning about lately. It was actually really interesting hearing about the her family and how she became interested in writing. She talked to us about her books and a new book she was writing. Also she read out a few of her stories she wrote as a child at school which I really enjoyed to see how far she has came.

Secondly we had the book character parade. Us house captains had to run it and we printed out certificates and presented them to the best dressed students. Every class came out and sat on the courts and there was a pathway down the middle where each class walked down and showed off their costumes. Some of the costumes people came up with were so funny and creative.

At the very end of the day we had a book quiz for the whole school. Well by the whole school I mean 2 people chosen from each year from each house. It went really well and it was interesting to see how much our houses knew. Everyone did so well.
