What a busy book week we had last week! Once again our annual book week was a success. Te Waka Ako went away from our usual programme to immerse ourselves in all things literacy. It was a special week for us.
Judi Bilcliff (who runs the site rainbow poetry), a visiting author and drama teacher entertained us with a fabulous combined session on Thursday. Lots of us got up, involved and enjoyed listening to her share her hilarious poems with us.
Friday was our dress up day. The theme was our favourite book character. From the photos you will see what an awesome bunch we are with most of us getting really dressed up. Congratulations to Lily from Manukau who was awarded one of the three dress up prizes for senior students in her Mad Hatter costume.

We also had our in class poetry recital competition on Wednesday and the finals on Thursday. Lily, Amie, Sebastian and Oscar all represented Manukau in the Te Waka Ako (syndicate finals). The standard of presentations was so high and the seven judges had real difficulty choosing the winners because the quality was so high. Congratulations to Oscar who came 4th equal to receive a prize, an awesome effort!
Finally, we have created our own rhyming poems, remember to check out our individual blogs for published and illustrated versions of these poems over the next couple of days. If you would like to find out any more about bookweek please drop us a comment or question below. We would love to hear from you.

But theirs one thing that bothers me ALL THE DABBING i'm part of the dab police and hm that looks like a hm a 595 oh no it's more like a OH a 745 because your teacher is dabbing and you have more then 4 people dabbing witch is 500 bucks if the dab police don't get the money on Friday we will take the dabbing people to count you have been warned (don't take this to heart it's a joke)

WOW what an exciting book week you had Room 8. Thanks for sharing photos and thanks especially for sharing the video clip. It was great to see you all so animated reading out parts of the poems. I am def going to check out the Rainbow Poetry site so glad you shared the link. Had any of you read her poems before? Have you been inspired to write poems of your own?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great sharing on your blog.
