Authors Visit

Today we were visited by the Author of "The Millenium Tree" Marnie Anstis.

Ella Says - Some people gave her questions and she gave us some really good answers.  We asked how many books she has written, which is one.  We asked her what her favourite book was and she said it was this one.  When she was little she use to write poems and books and she showed them to us.  They had lots of rhymes and things in them.  One of her poems was about a pig!

Heath Says - I Really enjoyed listening seeing the pictures because they had lots of interesting pictures.  There are pictures of mountains, a huge tree.

Shakayla Says - When Mr Oh asked her what tips she had for us budding writers.  She said we have to read lots and lots and lots!  Literally anything you see.

Ethan Says - Don't read easy books though because then you wont learn new ideas.

Rongo Says - I liked when she said how she made the book. At the end  I had to do the Kaia because we needed to sing a song at the end.  We sing a song for visitors to welcome them and i had to lead it.  I got just a little nervous but then I sang with Whaea Sandra, and Miss Hammond.
