Now that the examination is over, you can enjoy yourself by reading more books and learning some skills!
So here am I introducing an author who specialises in writing fantastic Children books. Some of her stories may be short (sentences are simple too) but she uses wonderful writing techniques to illustrate her ideas and very often, there is a twist to the stories' ending!
An excellent example is the book below "The Wind Blew". You will find this in the class library next year!
If you can't wait to read it, make a trip to the nearest library (or in your neighbourhood) to borrow books by her.
After reading, you can write a review (an activity to do!) of what the story is about and your reflection (if you like it and if yes, why OR what you have learnt from the story) and then, share with the whole class.
We can even post your writing on our class blog!
Another example is the one below "The Doorbell Rang".
An excellent example is the book below "The Wind Blew". You will find this in the class library next year!
(above) This is a fabulous story because of the poetic language used to describe the things that the wind did. Pat used a writing skill called 'personification' whereby the wind takes on a person's behaviour; who does things like a person. So you will find verbs like 'grabbing', 'taking' and many more in this story.

Meantime, how about reading Titch's Christmas story online?
OR go to TITCH's homepage for more activities like knowing more about the author and how she looks like?
(above) This is Titch, the little one.
(above) What is Titch doing with the flour?How about singing along? Go here and click on the red rectangle that says TITCH Opening Theme Song with Vocal to download the song.
This lyrics (the words of the song) is from the website.
| My brother and sister think I'm very small |
|---|
| But I'm growing a bit every day, every day |
| and when I'll be big |
| I'll be good at the games that they say I'm too little to play |
| My brother and sister are bigger than me |
| But I'll keep on growing and then they'll see |
| That I can do everything all on my own |
| They won't have to help me because I'll have grown |
Let's watch the snippet of Titch by clicking on the movie clip.
