We really enjoyed reading The Ballad of Cactus Joe by Lily Murray and Clive McFarland. We were especially enthused by Joe’s prickly personality and even wrote special applications to become Joe’s companion in the desert! We also recognised the rhyming patterns in the story and tried to emulate them in our own writing — we found this so fun!
Throughout the week, we had lots of time to read texts of our own choosing, visit the school library, and discuss our books with friends. Some people have even begun writing their own stories!
