Budding Author! 📘

Melanie Dixon —

We are very excited to have one of our Year One students, Mina Brown, become a published author. Her poem 'The Wave and the Snails' has been included in the Term 3 publication of the ToiToi Journal for Young Writers and Artists.

Well done Mina! We look forward to reading more of your poems in the future.

We hope you enjoy Mina's poem and are inspired to write yourselves.

The Waves and the Snails

             Far along the waves,
             there sits a group of snails.
             No one can harm them -
             Whoosh! go their tails.
