Winnie's Midnight Dragon - Week 2

Thanks to all the students and teachers who have made comments on our first post.

Things to do:

• Goto the Winnie the Witch website. Check out Winnie's house. Get your teacher to print out a copy of Winnie's house and you can label the rooms. Or you could draw your own version of Winnie house and label the rooms.

• Goto the Winnie the Witch website. Take the Quiz.
  

• Draw a dragon and email it to me at jrobson@forresthill.school.nz I will publish the best dragons on this blog. Room 6 at FHS are all drawing dragons using ms paint.

• In the story the dragon breaths out butterflies! Why do you think the author choose butterflies? What else could the dragon have breathed out his nose? How would this have changed the story?
  

• If you are interested and have time follow the links I have posted on butterfly they are very fascinating little creatures.
  

Winnie's Midnight Dragon

Welcome to Book Blog Chat!
Because Book Back Chat has decided to take this term off, I've decided to host my own version of Back Chat. This term we will do a mini version which will require only a few activities. Next term we may make it bigger and better or return to the original version.


Lets begin...

Hello students from Forrest Hill and Coatesville School's.

Why this book?
I love the detailed drawings of Korky Paul. His drawing tell the story as well as the words do!
