Fractured fairy tales




What do you think makes a hero?


We had a very special visitor

On Friday we had a very special visitor to the school.  His name was Craig Smith.  He wrote some awesome funny books like The Wonkey Donkey, My Daddy Ate an Apple, All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, Square eyes, Willbee the bumblebee, Kaha the kea and Eating.  He also shared some new stories and songs that aren't even published yet.  He was heaps of fun.  He sang to us and joined us all in.
