Term 4 Week 4

Guest author/illustrator/cartoonist Stu Duval

On Thursday we had a guest visit the school.

In preparation we had looked at a few video clips to see who Stu Duval was. We had a go at his S people drawing instructions.You can see some of our S people drawings in class.

When Stu Duval came to school he even talked about the S people drawings...and drawing using other letters and numbers as a starting point. He drew Mr Milmine by starting with the number 7!

"S, 2 dots, a prickle and a line."

Stu Duval drew a character from one of his stories, the little book monster. It was great to see the little monster appear before our eyes.

Stu then told us his story about the book monster. We were mesmerised!
