Treasure Beyond Measure

Last Friday in Level 3 Lockdown, Rimu had a visit from 

Helen Griffiths. 

She is the Author from Treasure Beyond Measure, a New Zealand children's book. 

 

We were able to ask Helen lots of questions, she did a quiz with us about collective nouns, and she also read her book to us.

We learnt a lot about conservation, collective nouns and illustrating a book! 

The pictures in this one are amazing!


Here are some of our thoughts - 

"I learnt that we should save the world and about conservation." - Max

"I learnt a lot about that a group of fish is a school. I also found it really fun and interesting because she made it rhyme." - Sahil

"What I found interesting is that we all learnt something that we didn't already know." - Nishka

"Something that I found interesting was that she had a lot of other jobs and she wasn't just an author. Something that I learnt is that groups of animals can be called a lot of strange things." - Amelia

"What I found interesting was how she added a globe to each page and try to make it fun." - Zahrah
