After receiving the first of our Duffy Books for 2018 at a special assembly last week, we had time to hang out on our school field and read our books!
It was the beautifully sunny day before we all went off for Easter break,
so we lucked in with an Easter Egg as well.
so we lucked in with an Easter Egg as well.
We have many gorgeous Pohutakawa Trees lining one side of our playing
field and a fitness trail that circles the North side of the field. What better place to hang out and read.
After reading our books for 30 mins, we listened to the class novel we are reading - Sunken Forest by Des Hunt. We are lucky enough to have Des Hunt visit us next term to talking to us and have a writing workshop with us.
If you haven't read a Des Hunt book make sure you check out his website. He has some superior reads. Always based in New Zealand with environmental messages and LOTS of action. The main characters are always around 11-13 years old.

Hello Hauraki,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like under the trees would be an awesome place to read, how many times a week do you sit under there and read? If it was me I would everyday. Mabe after you finish your class book you could do a novel study on it?

It looks like you are doing some great reading with Des Hunt's books, something I didn't understand is - what are duffy books? apart from that question I understand it all and I think it amazing that the class is indulging themselves into the realms of books.
Kind Regards
