It’s Day 2 of the Northland tour and my first stop was St Joseph’s Catholic School. I had the best time creating library cards full of excuses for overdue library books with Years 0, 1, 2 and 3.
We then headed to Kaihu Valley School where only two pupils were in from the roll call of six! It was wonderful to finally hear Vasanti Unka, Philippa Werry and Angie Belcher talk about their writing journeys.
The last school of the day was Opononi Area School and I was back with Years 0, 1, 2 and 3 where I read them But Then… and we created lots of library card designs.
Favourite question of the day: I left my book on my other waka. (Yes, like yesterday, technically not a question but this was a brilliant response to my question about overdue library book excuses.)
