Visiting the Tassie Devils @aussieark a few weekends ago. Nearly extinct due to a facial tumour disease but now back on track (at least numbers are up) due to the hard work of many conservationists. Definitely worth the visit and definitely worth supporting a magnificent cause - saving the Tasmanian Devil from extinction. #devilsark #aussieark #tasmaniandevil #conservation #australia #australian #tasmania #barringtontops #parenting #children

Poor Alpaca, she loves her friends and where she lives - in the letter 'a', but she has one big problem - she is allergic to apples! Allergic Alpaca, written by Kiah Thomas and Connah Brecon is a fun book that not only looks at allergies but the importance of friendship and looking out for each other. We meet Alpaca, who has always been allergic to apples but has somehow managed to avoid the apple tree and put up with constant sniffles, sneezes and red eyes. She has never told her friends about her allergy to apples but one day they learn all too quickly! Antelope (who was trying out some archery) accidentally hits the apple tree and causes an apple avalanches which falls all over Alpaca and sends her through the alphabet, all the way to 'W'! Alpaca meets some other friendly alphabet creatures along the way, finds advice, makes a big decision but then realises how important her friends are. Allergic Alpaca is not only a vibrant and fast paced book, it also teaches children about the alphabet in a humourous way. Connah Brecon's illustrations make the story come alive with the different faces Alpaca goes through as she moves through the alphabet to the different features of each letter's space. The combination of Kiah Thomas' words and Connah Brecon's illustrations have created a perfect picture book to laugh with, feel emotion with and possibly learn a thing or two about the alphabet - and allergies! #allergicalpaca #kiahthomas #connahbrecon #hardiegrant #allergies #apples #bookstagram #aussieteachertribe #teachersfollowteachers #alphabet #parenting #literacy #librariansofinstagram #alpaca

Infinite, Luna thought. The way the universe is infinite. It is light and dark and endless motion; it is space and time, and space within space, and time within time. And she knew: There's no limit to what the heart can carry. The girl who drank the moon is the magic of moonlight, the love of a mother and the ripples of hope from one person. You'll love Luna and the magic that pulses within her soul, her grandmother Xan, who cares for her like her own and the magical beasts Glerk and Fryian who stand by her side and she grows from a baby found on the forest floor to a young girl strong and full of self belief. Kelly Barnhill will transport you to a town smothered in sorrow. For too many years the people of 'The Protectorate' have lived in fear, sadness and worry. They accept the things they cannot change, they never question why and they put up with the mundane life they live. They also sacrifice one newborn baby every year to please the never seen witch who lives in the forest. That is until one mother fights back. Until one baby is filled with the magic of moonlight and one boy sees past the lies and sorrows. The Girl who drank the moonlight will awaken your imagination and belief in magic not only in the literal sense but also the magic of hope, love and community. Kelly Barnhill is a master storyteller. This story not only brought tears to my eyes, happiness to the pit of my stomach but also hope and belief in humankind. We can all be strong enough to make changes for the better - we just need to open our eyes and see beyond the walls of the places we live. #thegirlwhodrankthemoon #kellybarnhill #scholastic #magic #bookstagram #magical #moon #stars

Inspiring some young minds through picture books and origami. Learning about what we can do to help endangered animals in our every day lives is more important than just fundraising. Lots of ideas discussed.....more to come next week! #bookstagram #origami #endangeredanimals #aussieteachertribe #turtle #tuttlepublishing #origamiendangeredanimals #endangeredspeciesday #waronwasteau #parenting #ssitschallengejune19
