MATAPU SCHOOL – Room 1 Talkback

This is a way we tested if we were writing accurate procedures. Judging from this video it turns out we have a bit to work on!!!

We were really lucky to have Dawn McMillan visit our school on Friday. Dawn has written some picture book treasures like Why do Dogs Sniff Bottoms, Where do flies go in winter? Pancake Attack! A Fishing Story, and my favourite Glasseye Creek, amongst many others.

Dawn spoke to us about where she came up with her ideas and gave us some great insights on what it takes to become a great writer. 
Thanks Dawn for a great afternoon and we are looking forward to your next book!

As part of our school program we are looking at the Habits of the Mind. We are examining what it takes to be a good listener at the moment and this is what we have come up with so far.

Look through our student blogs soon to see how they rate!
