A big congratulations to the children in the pictures below for winning ‘Best Dressed’ from their class in our annual Book Week Parade…
This week we also had the beautiful author/ illustrator / artist Aura Parker visit our school. Aura shared with the children her seven children’s picture books and then gave us a special reading of Bowerbird Blues and Twig/ Meercat Splash.
Bowerbird Blues has been a huge hit for Aura this year as it was used in the National Simultaneous Storytime and then it was shortlisted for Picture Book of the Year by the CBCA. Aura also shared with us the current book she is working on ‘Bowerbird Brood’.
Aura explained how a book can take up to 1.5 years to complete and that her book ‘Twig’ was the book that she feels most connected to.
At the conclusion of each session there was a fabulous illustration session with Aura. The children used charcoal to complete their step-by-step illustration.
Happy Reading,
Kate M xx
