BOOK WEEK!

Last week at school we had book week.  Throughout the week we did a
whole bunch of things to do with book and reading.

On one of the days, Kate De Goldi who is a New Zealand author, came to
our school and talked to the Intermediate classes.  She talked about her
new book that she was writing.  She also talked about the books she had
already written and how she got inspiration for them.  In the middle of the
talk she read us some stories that she wrote from when she was around 6
or 7 years old.

One of the other things we did was the Golden Ticket hunt.  All the teachers
from the intermediate classes put different clues up on the class blog as to where
the ticket was.  They then hid the Golden Tickets around the school.  Whoever
found their class Golden Ticket was a chocolate.  I think Room 12 did waaayyyy
more then we did  because we only did about 2 or 3 and one of the tickets blew
away.

The best thing that we did last week was Book Character day.  Everyone had to
come to school as a character from a book.  Abby and I went as Thing 1 and Thing 2.
At the start of the day we had the book character parade.  All the classes sat on the courts
while me and the other House Captains stood at the front and watched each class
come down the "catwalk".  We had to judges all the different costumes.  The categories
were, Most Creative, Most Realistic and Best Group costume.  We had to chose one
person(s) for each of these categories from year 1 & 2, year 3&4, year 5&6 and year 7&8.
Overall the day was really fun because I got to see all the cool costumes.

So that's Book Week done.  My favourite part was the book character day because we
all got to dress up in fun costumes.
