Everyone has a story to tell...


Dear Room 14,

We have had a wonderful story time this morning with Stu Duval, who is an author, an illustrator and a great story-teller!

He has shared with us about how to tell stories with drawings and pictures, and how to use them to help us write our own stories. How did Stu start his story? Do you remember all the interesting characters that he had to put in his story? How did he link all the characters, places and events together? Which was the most difficult or tricky part for us? Do you like the ending of the story? How would you change it if it was your story?

Stu has also told us a fantastic story that he made up for his sons: Captain Black Custard. What was your favourite part? 





Don't forget to share your story ideas here and happy posting!

Harvest Time & Grandparents Day


Dear Room 14,

We had some fun today harvesting our vegetable garden with Jo today. There are some really cute carrot-babies, some skinny snow-peas, two different types of lettuce, and one beautiful beetroot. We have also found a little helper, an earthworm, wondering around our garden.


We had a quick discussions on what we can make out of our harvest and some of you are going to take some home to make them into dishes. I can't wait to see what you are going to bring tomorrow!























Enjoy the photos!
