Our amazing author visit

By -

Totara team had an author visit us, her name was Tahlia Evered. She read us one of the stories that she wrote. She showed us the three books that she has written too. We all made a story together as a class. It was exciting when she showed us her tricks for writing a story. She doesn't write her ideas down in order. When she has an idea she talks to people she knows, then she writes it down. We thought up our own creative stories and then wrote them down. 
Check our kid blog to see some of our writing.

    That was a lovely day today with Tahlia she was awesome to be with us. And thank you rm15 for letting us come with you for the middle block with Tahlia. We wouldn't had any space in our class though so lucky we came in your class anyway.
    Reply if she came with your class today or had you?

We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.
