Literacy quiz contestants

Every now and then Mrs Gatherer pops into Room 5 with a buch of new books and asks for Maddison and Anneke. The girls are currently 'reading up' a range of picture books and novels in preparation for a literacy quiz in September. Today they talked to us about what they have been up to. We will do an video / audio interview at a later date and post it here.
