Not long before the FBS authors launch their book, early Term 4!! Welldone writers, not even a 2nd lockdown could stop you all from telling your stories:)
A successful morning for the girls at Radio NewZealand recording their writing onto audio file. WOW use your phone to scan the code on the book and you will be able to hear our FBS share their stories orally!
A lockdown google meet with the FBS Authors' group and Mishana, Teuila and Tavita choose to share a song with the group before discussing their writing tasks.
David joins a google meet and answers questions from Tavita, Mickheila and Otufanga.
FBS learners thoroughly enjoyed a visit and writing advice from the talented journalist and singer Indira Stuart. Malo aupito!
The beginning of FBS students journey to becoming published atuhtors. Children listening attentively to David.
