Jerry Palotta

On the 30^th and the 31^st of May all the year 5’s from Myross Bush School went to room 8 because the year 6’s went to Dunedin for young leaders with Mss Stewart and Mr Herring.  That meant the year‘s had Mrs Wilcox. We decided to learn about Jerry Palotta.  Jerry Palotta is a children’s book author and he writes lots of A-Z and Counting books. He got sick of the A for Apple, X for X-ray and the Z for Zebra. He decided to do lots of research and info.

We read some of his books and we got some good ideas.  We all had to Put A-Z in our writing books and then come up with things from A-Z of Myross Bush School for example A for Aviary and R for Rugby.  Once we had done that then we all got together and we picked out all the good ones.  We thought we could make a book from A-Z for Room 1 to learn the alphabet.  We all got to pick a letter each to draw pictures on that page. People who got them all done first got to do another one if there were any more pages to be done.  Once we had all the pages done we got them laminated and then binded into a book. Then some of as went to Room 1 presented the book.  And that is what all the year 5’s did in two days while the years 6’s were at young Leaders.
