 Welcome back to Term 3

Welcome back to Term 3 for 2013. Hopefully children are all rested from their break and ready for some learning. Opposite is a small selection of some of the creations of several children - Charis, Veronica, Vincent, Mele, Malia and Misty - on the 'Book Creator' app on the iPads. I could only choose the ones which were named, so I am able give credit to the authors. There are a few more  exceptional ones I could put up at some later date if the authors can find the creation, name it and then tell me it is ready to go up. Some creations could also do with a bit of editing. 
  
 These creations were developed as part of last terms concept of sustainability. This term our concept is enterprise. We will be looking at what enterprise and enterprising mean and what makes an enterprising person. Perhaps we could see some Book Creator creations on this topic soon!?

Children's author - Terri Rose Baynton

 Children's author - Terri Rose Baynton

A couple of weeks ago Room 6 children were lucky enough to go to the hall to see visiting children's author Terri Rose Baynton. She talked to us a little about how she became an author and about the latest book she has just had published. Terri then gave an interesting lesson on how to get ideas for your story writing and drew some very funny illustrations on the whiteboard. Thank you Terri.
