The storyline festival

On Thursday last week we went to the storylines fest. If you don’t know what this is it is a festival about authors for kids.

The authors that I thought were funny would have to be Juliette MacIver and Jill MacGregor. I thought Juliette MacIver was funny because the way she came across was a bit odd but overall she was a good author. I enjoyed Jill MacGregor as well because a funny comment she made after telling us a story. “Don’t buy microwave popcorn because its probably contaminated”.

If I were a presenter of the festival I would have the illustrations of the book photocopied and put on the projector so we so we could see the pictures.

If I could ask them a question it would most likely be what process do you have to go through to publish a book.

Isara and Jacob Fat Piggie

Once upon a time, there was a fat pig called Mr Bing.

He lived in a stinky sty in the zoo with piglings.He was able to fly although no one even knew.

But the zoo keepers would give him bad food which would made him do a runny poo.

He was very embarrassed about his problem ,so he flew away and became baalim.

He met a female goddess named Pigthena and had all the food that you could ask for. The End.

Speed writing

Today we sat a speed writing challenge.

What I think it means is helping each other show that you are there to help them through hard times so they feel you know you're there to help them up when they fall down tiaki taonga is a big part of my life so I am glad that I could share part of what it means to me.
