Picture Book Reading

Last Friday a group of kids came to Rm 6 for a story but who was going to read this story? Rm6 themselves! Each kid from Rm6 got put into 4 groups and each had to bring a kids picture book that they read as a child. When the 4 kids aged between 2 and 4 years old came in one being Mrs. Stuart's daughter they all split up and one kid went into each group. As the kids sat down all groups made themselves comfortable and introduced the kids to Rm6’s kids. While we read them the books that we brought from home we got them a whiteboard and pen to draw pictures. Everyone was having fun but most of the little kids were a bit shy but that's ok because they are little kids and not used to being in a room with people they have never seen before. When they left everyone was disappointed to see their cute faces leave. It was good to have these kids come into our class as it helped us decide what our target audience for our own picture books would be. Now its our turn to create our own picture books. By Ollie.B
