On Wednesday the Takaroa team were entertained and inspired by James Russell, author of the fantastic Dragon Boys book series.

Yesterday James Russell came to the school and he did some jokes and they were funny and he read us some dragon tamers books and the dragon hunter.  Then he turned the island to life and turned the boat to life.

Yesterday James Russell came to visit and he read us Dragon Riders and he also got his iPad and showed us the real page with his iPad and my favourite part of the story was when the kid did a fart.

We read a book and it was about the dragon hunters.  The dragon cuddled with the dog.

My favourite bit is when the kid did a fart.  He thought it was a rock but actually it was an egg.

Yesterday James Russell came to Harakeke.  He said there was one story for the big kids.  I like the part that the dragons hatch and chase the boys and I love Dragon Tamers.
