See you there!

Hello again!  The March meeting went off with a bang with more new members and an animal theme.

We stared off with playing a ‘guess who’ animal game with funny photos of animals. Which we figured out that asking questions like are you a feline, or are you a mammal or are you a domestic animal, this helped us find out faster !! 

We then had reviews of books from last month’s theme Non-Fiction these are some of the team’s reads! See you next time at Karori Library on April 10th at 4pm for the next club meeting.

Megan read Big Cats she gave it 5 stars, Vishaanth read Moon Shot he gave this book 5 big stars! Xandi read Sizing up the Universe he gave it 5 stars. Olivia read a book on how to make soap she gave it 4 stars.

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.
