A real author came to our class

 A few weeks ago we were really lucky to have a real author of a children's book come to our class and read her story.  She was Josh's Aunty and her name was Janet Pereira.  She read us the story that she wrote called Blackie the fisher-cat.

We all thought it was a great story and listened with interest as she read it to us. We did lots of predicting about what we thought was going to happen to Blackie and where he was going to end up. It was exciting that the story was set in Karamea on the West Coast of the South Island.

After Janet had read the story to us we told her how much we enjoyed it and then we were able to ask her some questions. She said we are on the right track with how we write in our class at writing time. Who knows,  maybe one day some of us will become authors when we grow up.  Thanks Janet for coming to visit, we loved it and thanks Josh for sharing your clever aunty with us.
