In Week 8 the StoryFest school programme started and we were lucky to have four well known authors visit our school.

Tami Sussman was fun and everyone enjoyed her reading her story from the series Tiny Tradies. The last group of kids got to watch a reenactment of one of the pages, performed by the library leadership team in year 6. (Jemima).

Solli Raphael was a fun author who let us write our own poems about whatever we wanted. He read us poems and told us about his books and how he decided to be a poet and go into the competition The Poetry Slam. He visited year 5 and year 6 on Friday week 8 Wednesday (Evie).

On Friday in Week 8, Sami Bayly visited our school, it was really fun. She let us draw an interesting animal that is extinct called a Heliprocorn. It was exciting getting to know her and about her books. It was super funny listening to her story with the cassowary escaping the Port Macquarie Zoo. We all loved it! (Ben).

Sue Whiting inspired us with her talk about what authors do and how she got the ideas for her Pearly & Pig series. Three students from each class were chosen to be Adventurologist in training. And students make up their own island adventure stories where everything went wrong.
