It's a ...

We've been enjoying Lane Smiths "It's a Book" and have written our own versions of the story.

Here's the book trailer to give you an idea of the story flow:



Here's Hannah's version:

It's a piece of paper
“Whats that?”asked Weirdo.

“It’s a piece of paper”, said Wizard Smarty-pants.

“Can it change channels?” asked Weirdo.

“No, it’s a piece of paper,” answered Wizard Smarty-pants.

“Does it need a remote control”, Weirdo.

“No, it’s a piece of paper”.

“Can it make this sound effect”, BOOM BOOM POW! “I don’t mean this one I mean that one”, BANG!”

“No”

“Can I look at it?”

“Sure”

“I will just plug it in and put the antenna on the roof”

“YOU DON’T NEED TO IT’S A PIECE OF PAPER WEIRDO!”

The Big Day in Te Papa

I was waiting in the wings for the big moment to occur.

“…and please welcome the Keynote Singers from Raumati Beach School!” said one of the people.

We all ran on stage and performed. I was as happy as a person winning lotto. When we were done we stepped to the front of the stage and bowed.

Then we all waved and ran of stage. When we got back to the “dressing room”, Mr Farrely came and awarded us with…….

200 DOLLARS! WOW! We were all amazed. Then we got an hour and 15 minutes to explore Te Papa.

It was a great day that I will always remember.
