New Zealand Post Book Awards

On Tuesday Grace,Hayley,Jaime and Rhiannon from Room 11 were in the Mastermind heats for the NZ Post Book Awards. They got 30 out of 75 and the highest score was 52. Of the Tuesday heats they came second and got third out of Kapiti,Te Horo and Otaki.
They had to read as many books out of the finalist books as they could, and be prepared to answer questions. The hardest questions were the ones that didn't say what book they were from, for example Riley Mitchel was bullied by what big kid? The easiest questions were from the most interesting books because you could remember what it was about. The books most recommended are Legs on Everest, Enemy at the Gate and Payback. Books least recommended, Juicy Writing and Old Drumble.

Puppetry of the Foot

We were making foot puppets for a class play. We made villians, heroes and my friend made toe puppets. There had to be a story line that had to have a villian, a boat and a song. It was alot of fun! We had 5 minutes to do the scripts and 10 minutes to make our foot puppets. After the time is up we sit behind chairs and do our play. It was easy to make our foot puppets but moving was the hard bit! We were stepping on our puppets but I hopped.
