I have a copy of the first draft. It has a few mistakes in it so has been reloaded and is now ready for ‘mass production’. The ‘Monster’ book is a compilation of pictures, poems and stories written wholly by the students in 1G. They have been made into a proper book and can be purchased at cost from the following link.

There is no money added to the publishing. It is what this company charge to publich it. Be aware that it is in US dollars and takes up to 3 weeks to arrive from America.

The kids love the book and the new, perfected edition is there to buy if you want to. Just click on the following link.

Read and enjoy

I can not believe that it is term 4 already. We are busy working hard and getting the last of Year 1 learning in before we see the year out.

SO what are we up to?

We are learning to write narratives. We have already shown some awesome talent. Feel free to visit the room and have a read. We also have a few surprises up our sleeve for later in the term. We are reviewing most of the maths that we have been doing throughout the year.
