We have started our storyteller lunchtime readings for 2013. Hannah from Room 19 read to the children in Room 3 on Thursday in the Library at lunchtime. The storyteller is a great way to promote our love of literacy at Redwood School. The older children enjoy reading and the younger children love being read to!
This week Hannah read two favourites -
Anthony Browne is an awesome author and this book shows how Mr Piggott and his sons take for granted all that Mrs Piggott does for them and around the home. When she leaves and leaves them a note saying "You are Pigs" they are forced to take care of themselves, there is some lovely illustrations in this book shadowing the text, as well as humor and irony.
Joy Watson is a New Zealand writer, and the Grandpa stories are much loved. Grandpa and Grandma are much loved characters and have some gentle battles over change. These books provide a good giggle for all ages.
