Book Week at St Francis Xavier School

This week for Book Week we have special people coming to our school. They were coming to read to us. We have met some people from Parliament some authors some school principals and Anton's grandma!

Hon Peter Dunne snuggled into his chair and read "The house at Pooh Corner", to us. He brought the same book he used to read when he was a little boy. He got us to do the "tiddly pom" bit.
Queen Betty (Anton's grandma) put lots of expression into her reading. It looked like she thought it was really interesting. She has lots of books at home and she told us we were really good readers!
Hon Phil Goff read the Little Yellow Digger and the Whale. It sounded like he was picturing it in his mind and he was trying to get us to picture it in our minds too. He looked pretty nervous but he concentrated really hard on the words.
Hon Annette King had a wicked sense of humour. She used funny books and interesting voices.
Mr Aitken wore a tie with Winnie the Pooh on it.
Hon Winnie Laban said that her favourite author was AA Milne and when she was a little girl her friends used to call her Winnie the Pooh!
Mr Lucas had a scratchy voice but he read us a book about bats in the library. It was kind of spooky.

We have lots more books to read so we'll update you later in the week.
Bye for now...
