Tauranga Library Storytime Visit

Click Here to View our Movie

We had a wonderful visit from the lovely ladies (Clare and Penny) who work in the children's section of the Tauranga Library. The children got to listen to 3 excellent stories and dramatised two of them. One of them was 'The Musicians of Bremen' which we captured on the iPad. As you can see, even the audience is fully involved. We have some talented little actors.



The Tauranga Libraries also run programmes in the school holidays.  Keep an eye on their website.

Daffodowndilly by AA Milne

For poetry this week we shared the poem Daffodowndilly by AA Milne. Although it is a spring poem it was lovely to think warm thoughts this week. We publish his poem in Kidpix using a manipulated image and typing the poem onto the picture. You can read our contributions on the Children's Work page. The other children used Book Creator on the iPads to collaboratively make an e-Pub book of the poem.
