Chapter Chat

This term we have been taking part in Chapter Chat where we read 4 chapters a week of 'The Magic Faraway Tree' By Enid Blyton and then do activities set by the organiser. Also, every Friday, we take part in a twitter session where we share the work we have made and answer questions about the book. It is a great way to find out what other people think about the book, how creative they are and to connect with other students across NZ.
Here is Room 22 with some of their awesome creations...
