Year 1 Unit

Last Wednesday Year 1’s had a special visit from local author Marita Davies. 

Marita read her book Teaote and the Wall to us. 

It is a beautifully illustrated picture story book about a girl who builds a wall to protect her house from the tremendous waves. 

Marita answered all sorts of questions about where she gets her ideas from, how long has she been writing for and the process of how she writes. She told us that she sometimes gets her ideas while driving, or from dreams and even when she looks down in her cereal bowl! We appreciate Marita coming in to share her book with us and making our morning so wonderful. 

Year 1’s are now beginning to write their own stories and we can’t wait to see what brilliant ideas they come up with.
