BOOK SEEKERS OCTOBER @ KARORI!

Wrld atlas
Our new topic for the month is countries of the world! We started with a game of ‘Who can guess the national costume?’ The team did great with guessing costumes from countries such as China, Ethiopia, Wales and Holland!  We then had reviews from last month…

QUINCY read the last book of the series, Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy called Death Bringer. Quincy gives it 5 STARS and was sad to see the series finish.

Science smart: cool projects for exploring the marvels of the planet Earth  by Gwen Diehn.

Tanglewreck by Jeanette Winterson.

REBEKAH read a great science fiction fable about an 11yr girl who gets a clock for her birthday, the girl discovers it is no ordinary clock, it can control time. She travels to the future and the past. Rebekah gave this book 4 STARS. Raewyn recommends Tanglewreck which has a similar plot.

Adventure beneath the sea : living in an underwater science station by Kenneth Mallory

RAEWYN read Adventure beneath the sea: living in an underwater science station by Kenneth Mallory which has a great insight into the life of a scientist living under the sea and the kind of thing they do. It even showed where they sleep and there was even a toilet underwater! Raewyn gives it 4 STARS.

We then closed our BookSeeker’s day with another game! This was an empty map of the world. We had to guess with pins where the ten largest countries were. Well done BookSeekers KARORI! See you in November when we have a special guest Wellington’s author and illustrator Ruth Paul.
