Te Totara Primary School Library

In the last two weeks, we have issued over 1,800 books for students to read over the holidays, so there should be lots of children with their noses in books this summer! We hope that your holidays are filled with the best kind of stories.

Our Year 2s had a visit from author Kristin Kelly today, as part of the Storylines Waikato Story Tour. Kristin showed our students the tiny books that she creates and helped them come up with their own story. She discussed the importance of considering how your characters are feeling, and she described how finding two rather sad dogs at a house with a new baby helped her come up with the idea for her book, "The Squeakling".
