New Zealand post book awards

In week 4 we had a competition for voting for picture books in the New Zealand book awards. My favourite picture book is " Remember that November". Each class had to vote for a picture book. One of the picture books I also like is 'Melu'. The voting closed on June 24th of May. Alot of picture books are interesting and sometimes they are about feelings. The books in the competition have a post stamp that will tell us if it is a New Zealand post book and one of New Zealands's favourites. Some books have rhyming words such as care and share. The picture books are fiction, that means made up stories and you can use your imagination. Campbell Live host John Campbell has been appointed as Chief Jugde of the awards.
On Monday they announced the children's choice which is Melu and the winner of the picture book was Mister Whistler.

A little bit about Mrs Crisp

 

Mrs Crisp thinks that our school is very friendly because the children are kind to each other and they are always busy learning. She thinks it is challenging for her to get to know everyone, where things are and how we do things in this school. In her free time she likes to go for bush walks, read books and watch movies and eat ice-cream with her friends and family. She thinks our school is special because of the lovely children, the library, and how the kids use it. She would spend hours in the library. Her favourite book is Ten in the bed, her favourite sport is netball , she loves the colour green, her favourite author is Gwenda Turner and her favourite food is strawberries.

Australia

My Holidays, Awesome. Why? Because I had my birthday party, oh! Did I mention that I went to Australia? I didn't. Okay I'll set the scene! It was a Monday, waiting and waiting, watching and hearing every tick of the clock. Finally I reached the airport, every queue for every airline. Intercoms crackling for announcements, in fact I can mimic it today. Immigration lines were not that packed. So it was easy getting through in time. Boarding the plane and embarking into the sky. It wasn't the 4th of July, so we flew the sky. Getting to Kingsford took 3hrs and 40mins but was worth the wait. Hearing the crying of families reuniting made me feel alive. Suddenly it came, our ride awaited for me family. Next day we were tired and had to get up 8 sharpish so we could be in "CANBBERA". Went to Parliament marched in and starting taking pics. Went right to the Mint Factory. Turns out they make money in the Mint Factory we then went to the Telstra Tower-r-r. Came back to Sydney and met all the family. We had Ice-Cream Soda Spiders, I wasn't that frightnend. Sydney City is fabulous, waltzing down Pitt Street and going through an 8 story mall. Have you seen that before? I went abroad a boat and saw a Pacific Pearl heading to the Pacific that got me jealous...Bummer I just had to get back through all 23 stops. I aint fun at all. Came back to the House. I had a good blast with all my cousins here and a great feed. Back to old Auckland. I had a really good time across the ditch. It didn't stink. I wonder where I go next?
