Term 3 Book Week

Last week was book week, wow it was a full on!

On Monday we had Grandparents and Dads day. Thank you to all those who came in and read with us, what a treat.

Thank you also to the kind and caring Sarah- you truly are a delight and we are lucky to have you helping us in Ruru!

On Tuesday we had Buddy Class with Kakapo. We got to wear our PJs to school and had toast and milk with our big buddies while we read.

On Wednesday we had a special visitor - Maria Gill! She is a children's author and we had a blast learning about some of her stories, especially when she got out her cute puppets. If you want to learn more about her : www.mariagill.co.nz
