Mānuka & Kahikatea are reading this great story and taking part in 'Chapter Chat New Zealand'

Maybe you remember reading this book as a child (I do!) It is written by Beverly Cleary who is 102! 

We have been enjoying the story, and completing weekly challenges which we share via Twitter with other schools and students around the country.  Each Friday we have to answer 10 questions about the story, share our own learning and comment on others.  It's a really fun way of making connections and getting the most out of the story. 

 Because it was written a long time ago (1965) and is based in USA there are lots of new words to discuss and and research - but its amazing how timeless the story is.

If you are a Twitter user -our Twitter 'handles' are:
