We were very lucky in Room 18 because some of our lovely Grandparents came to visit to read a story as this week is Literacy Week at school. We also read our class narrative "The Day Cookies Crumbled and Other Things Happened" to the Grandparents which they all enjoyed . There was a lovely morning tea provided by the PTA for Grandparents to share in the hall with their grandchildren.

Auckland Library Trip
On Thursday the
29th of May we visited the Auckland Central Library with Room 15.
We liked the
design of the children’s area which is based on a Taniwha. It has cool seating
and interesting spaces to sit and read.
We took an
escalator to the second floor of the library to the George Grey Specialist
section where we saw the smallest book and the oldest book that the library has.
We went down into
the lower levels of the library where lots of books and maps are stored as they
cannot all fit on the shelves up in the library. Librarians work there to
collect books when people request them and send them up to the library using a
machine called a tally lift which we saw operating.
We also did a quiz
and a rebus and Mrs Venville read us some stories.
