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.
I have chosen Winnie's Midnight Dragon by Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul.
Why this book?
I love the detailed drawings of Korky Paul. His drawing tell the story as well as the words do!
Also as a child my favorite thing to draw was...
Can you guess?
To see more drawing by Korky Paul try searching google images.
Things to do:
- Get your teacher to read the story to your class.
- Tell me about your favorite page. Descibe the picture on your favorite page to me. What made you choose that page?
- Find out more about the illustrator "Korky Paul". Eg. Where he lives. Post back 2 facts try not to repeat what other have posted.
- Watch and listen to the "Winnie the Witch" story on youtube.

My favorite page is the last page. It's Winnie's bedroom. I like this page because there are many things to look at in her room. Also the Sun and the Moon are out at the same time. Winnie's pictures on her wall are colourful and interesting. Like the pirate above her bed. I wonder who this could be?
By Mr Robson
Hi Mr Robson
my favourite page is also the last page although it is very messy it is still interesting.Like all the photos on the wall for example there are fish pirates and old ladys in eye patches they might be part of her family some how.She should try to tidy her room a bit.
by siena Ng
my favorite page was the one on the rooftop. Because the dragon came. And winnie did abracadabra 6 times an the moon came to her. Her whole house was black even her cat was black. I like that part because it was really dark so it was hard to see. The dragon was breathing fire so I liked it. The dragon could not see winnie and wilbert and the baby dragon. then winnie said abracadabra on he dragon. then the dragon had smoke comming theew his nose.
Hi Mr Robson I loved Winnies bedroom.I think it would be cosy in her bed if she wold tidy it a bit bettr.I also think it would be fun to play with her fluffy cat.I wonder what it would be like to be Winnie?

Hi Siena,
I think you are right the photo's in her bedroom are most likely her family. I like your comment about tidying her room. Well done for being the first to make a comment.
Hi Olivia,
I think one of the best things about being Winnie is being able to do magic.
Hi Ash,
I'm pleased you noticed what Winnie was brushing her teeth with. I wonder if others observed this. I think I'll post a poll on the blog to see.
Hi Yuri,
I think your the only one who thinks Winnie looks pretty!
Hi Room 4,
I look forward to your comments. Don't forget to read the story on the kidsnet. Under classroom connections - room 4.
