We participated in @spiky_penelope @ltpbexchange and were sent this lovely book by @c_ilka_miles . We loved reading this book at home and I also shared it at school. This book is a wonderful tribute to Narelle Oliver and a great way to show children how ideas for books are formed. It helps them to realise how long the process of writing a quality book takes! We created our own future Cecil stories after we read so perhaps one day one of these might trigger a new and wonderful book idea! #bookstagram #kidlit #iwanttobeinabook #narelleoliver #picturebook @scholastic_au #lessonplan #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #creativewriting #iamwriting #schoolholidays #parenting #librarian Losing terribly to a six year old..... but it's great we can start playing scrabble over afternoon tea. #games #boardgames #schoolholidays #scrabble #juniorscrabble #reading #learningtoread #holidays #parenting #children Check out these great stickers designed last week after we read the first few pages of Mr Bambuckle's Remarkables.... The children loved doing this activity and are very keen for me to print some of these out too! #mrbambucklesremarkables #timharris #stickers #teachers #teachersofinstagram #librariansofinstagram #librarian #librarylesson #humour #storytelling #ozlit Mr Bambuckle is every student’s idea of a dream teacher and perhaps some teacher’s wish they could be more like Mr Bambuckle! I loved the way Tim Harris presented each short story, and through each short story we were able to meet the different students in 12B. I particulary loved the story of the washing machine as I know that in my childhood I was once afraid of the noise the washing machine made. Hahaha 😣 Tim Harris has a great ability to make children laugh, connect with the characters and perhaps learn a lesson or two as they read. This book is also a great way to show students the many different ways stories can be presented. A great book to read out loud to your class – and perhaps inspire some great storytelling amongst a group! I have some great stickers to share in my next post too....if you've read the book you'll know what I mean! #mrbambucklesremarkables #timharris @timharrisbooks #humour #bookstagram #blogger #fiction #teachers #education #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #kidsbookstagram Bed time storytime and a great find at the library considering Migaloo has just graced our shores again. Migaloo by Mark Wilson has intricate illustrations and a great story for young readers, full of wonder, adventure and danger! Facts fill this book so there is also a lot to be learnt. I Love being able to make links to real life. Picture books are a great way to talk about issues in the news, check out my blog for some great bookish links! #migaloo #migaloothewhitewhale #markwilson #whales #whitewhale #animalconservation #whaleconservation #migration #books4sustainability #bookstagram #picturebook #bedtime #storytime #stories #reading #parenting The little southern right whale was born under the shadow of the great harbour bridge. ----------- Fluke by Lesley Gibbs and Michelle Dawson is a beautifully told story about the day a southern right whale gave birth to a calf in Sydney Harbour. Lesley Gibbs gentle storytelling skills alongside Michelle Dawson's mesmerising illustrations make for a loving tale about a mother whale in search for her baby deep in the harbour. This event was only the third one recorded in the last 200 years so it made a great impact on the locals who were able to watch the baby grow, become lost and then reunite with it's mother. Not only do we get to read this lovingly told tale, we are also able to learn more about Southern Right Whales through small facts on the front and back covers. The story of Fluke brings to light the care that so many of us have towards living creatures when we see them in distress. It shows just how much many of us love the living world around us and marvel at the wonders it gives us everyday.
