They reviewed the books they had been reading over the holidays, which included The Famous Five and The Hardy Boys, and then they were introduced to the Bookseeker theme for October: books about Animals.
Then the Bookseekers did a quiz where they had to match the baby animals to the adult animals, and Debbie read a poem aloud from Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes.
There was more fun when the Tawa Bookseekers were given animal puppets and had to create a story. The puppet stories had to include random words like “train,” and “biscuit.” There was loads of laughter from everyone when the Bookseekers presented their stories to the group.
Finally, the Bookseekers did another quiz where they had to match-up the country with its national animal. Did you know that the Chihuahua is the national dog of Mexico? Join the Tawa Bookseekers in November, on Wednesday 9th, 4 -5pm, for Stories From Other Countries. Bookseekers is free to join for children aged 9 – 12.
