My hero

My hero is my favourite author; Michael Morpurgo.

We were so lucky to have seen him talk when he came to Christchurch last year.

Michael Morpurgo is one of Britain's best children's books authors. In fact he was the Children's Laureate which is the best you can be. He has written more than 100 books.

I have  read many of them and loved them all.

Special favourites are:

The butterfly lion

I believe in unicorns

Kensuke's kingdom

The Mozart question

Kaspar : prince of cats

All of these and many more are in our school library. Check them out.

Have a look at his website too.

Heroes Quotes

Quotes 

"Heroes take journeys, confront dragons, and discover the treasure of their true selves." Carol Lynn Pearson

Heroes

Heroes is our school-wide  year-long theme.

 We will be covering everything from cartoon super-heroes like Spider-man, to famous New Zealanders, like Sir Edmund Hillary. 

Reading Crusade

We have many children eagerly reading their six books as part of the Reading Crusade. Just because the challenge is nearly over doesn't mean you stop reading. There are some wonderful new books in the library and I have added a few more fun sites to play around with on the library blog.

Check out the author and illustrator sites for the latest additions. Four of our children were invited to visit Fendalton Public Library to meet two of the Crusaders rugby players. The children were buzzing with excitement and delighted with their goody bag and signed autographs from Jonathan Poff and Tim Batemen.
