The Best Books

Are you looking for a good book to read?

Here are some that we can recommend from our Book Tasting Picnics last week…

 

Little Owl by Phillip Gwynne

Alice – It was sad, good and it was a happy ending.

Mia – I think it was sad, happy and nice.

Isabella – It was nice and it had a good happy ending.

 

Family Forest by Kim Kane

Kayla – It was a good book because it had a good ending, a good starting, a good middle, and it had a pretty front cover.

Paige – It sounded good and it was very funny and it didn’t have a sad end part.

 

Can You Keep a Secret? by Pamela Allen

Jamie – I liked it because it was funny and she liked to find people’s secrets and she found it in the crown.

Jayden – Because the king was looking for a crown in a hippopotamus’s mouth. Because it was weird.

Nic – The king stuck his head behind a lion. It’s funny.

 

Cat by Mike Dumbleton

Sophie – Because it was good for learning because it has a couple words on one page and when you put them in a sentence you know what they are.

Max – The cat ran up a tree and he kept saying ‘Thanks for that’. There was a dog, a cat, a boy on a bike, a mice, a carpet and tree.

Haidyn – Because he was climbing a tree and chasing a mouse. Because it’s funny and other people might enjoy it.

 

Whose Egg? by Guy Troughton

Mahali – It was funny and happy.

Finlay – It’s fun to try and guess whose egg it is behind the next page.

Isabella – Because it’s ok if you don’t get them all right because you don’t have to get them all right.

 

Dinosaur Roar! by Paul Stickland

Connor – Because there was a fat dinosaur. It’s really, really funny.

Max – There’s actually a dinosaur that is so strong he was lifting up a brachiosaurus and one was actually a slimy dinosaur.

Haidyn – I recommend the Dinosaur because it’s funny when he sat on the dinosaur.

Book Tasting

To celebrate Book Week last week we had a Book Tasting Picnic!

We set up our picnic rugs and picnic baskets full of books. Each day we read a new book, and then filled out our ‘book tasting book’ with information all about the story and drew a picture of the front cover.

What was the book titled? Who was the author and illustrator? What was the story about? Which part was your favourite? How many stars would you give this book?

Stay tuned on the blog later this week as we review and recommend some of our favourite books that we tasted!

Imagine you’re a character from a book…

We finished off Book Week 2016 with a dress up day to celebrate our love for books. Wow, we saw a lot of creativity!

Which was your favourite costume?

Horse Safety

We were lucky enough this week to have Connor’s mum, Kay, visit our class. She brought lots of knowledge and experience as a horse riding instructor. Kay taught us about horses and how to be safe around horses.

Leave a comment below, telling us one new thing you learned about horses…

Book Week 2016
