Amazing Writing

We wrote stories about a time we spent with our families.  Have a listen to our stories.

SPCA

The children in Room 20 love animals, and a small group decided to help the SPCA.  First they designed some posters asking for donations.  They asked for blankets, towels and toys.  Then they went around to all the classes in the school and told everyone about the SPCA.  Over the next few weeks we had lots of donations arriving in Room 20.  Look at all the things these guys collected!

The blankets and towels filled up 5 whole boxes and Mrs Farrelly's car was stuffed full!  The whole lot was delivered to the SPCA in Mangere. Room 20 got a thank you letter from the SPCA and there is something else special happening soon! 

The SPCA also said that children and families are welcome to visit the centre and see what work they do, maybe even meet some of the animals. 

Thank you Devon, Ella, Kaylan, Josh and Nikira, you did an amazing job.

Mr Hadlow Has...

More exciting news!  Mr Hadlow sent us all a poster of his book, and he signed a poster for our classroom.  Mr Hadlow is currently working on his new book of stories, we can't wait to read them.

International Writing

Room 20 read a very cool story called "Mr Hadlow Has a Son" from the book of stories "Mr Hadlow Has..."  The story was about a missing snake called Reg and the massive fright someone got when they found Reg in a very unexpected place.  We wrote stories about a time we got a fright, or an adventurous snake, and some of us retold the story of Reg. We sent our stories to the author over in England, and he WROTE BACK TO US!!  Mr Hadlow also sent us a photo of himself holding Reg the snake.  Come and read our stories, and check out the photo of Reg with Mr Hadlow.
