Des Hunt - author visit

We are very thrilled to announce author Des Hunt will be visiting our school on Thursday, 16 August, to present sessions about his work and being a writer to our Years 5-8 classes.   Des's stories are all set in New Zealand and he writes in a way that makes his stories sound so real that they could actually happen.  Visit his website to find out more about the books he has written.  It's a great website.  We have some of his books in our library so come in and pick one out.  Be prepared for some wacky science experiments too.

Will Rushton, from Room 16, has read and enjoyed the book The Secret of Jelly Mountain.  Here is his brief review of it.

Jelly Mountain is a fantastic book with adventure and excitement. The location is in New Zealand and a new mystery unlocking at the top of Jelly Mountain. Two kids a boy and a girl dream about what could be up on the top of Jelly Mountain but their dreams are ruined by some one who goes looking for oil. This book I rate 5/5.
