Visiting Author
Julie Scott is a New Zealand author and she came to our school to talk to us about her book 'Milly and the Chittens'. We all really liked hearing about her book and how she came up with the ideas for the characters. To read some of her book go to Milly and the Chittens

We are going to create our own hybrid animals before the end of term 1 and share them with Julie.

Character Descriptions
We have been learning how to write character descriptions as well. Here is an activity that is all about describing things.
