There's nothing like a good quote! How true the following:
"Life is merely the canvas for which you as the artist are able to create whatever you can imagine."

Premiers' Reading Challenge
Have you heard of the Premiers Reading Challenge? It is a great idea to encourage reading at home. Children just love to have stories read to them and the books that are selected are quality books. I'm not sure how many states offer this but it's a great list to help you choose good books .

Pudding Day
What a wonderful day in the Blue Mountains! Lots of things going on with the focus squarely on childrens literature with lots of fun things to do. I especially enjoyed Emily Rodda, John Marsden and Cartoon Dave. It's easy to see why they are so popular. There were lots of eager children ready to hear a story and buy a book or two - so a great day for me too!

WOW! A lot has happened!
Poppybooks has just completed another colouring competition. You kids are so clever!
I am always impressed with the quality of the entries and also where they come from. Every state in Australia is always well represented.
I would also like to send an extra special 'thankyou' to the children in the prep/1 class at St Mary's Primary School in Donald in Victoria :) It is always a pleasure to receive the many entries from them.
I hope you all have fun with the new Christmas competition. As a special treat Kieron will choose one or two of his favourites and interpret them into works of art 'a la Kieron'. They will become wonderful treasures for those who win them.

Happy Easter.
I hope the Easter bunny has been to your house too. I must admit I love chocolate. Do you?
It seems my holidays are often spent with grandchildren and these holidays have been no exception. I was able to take 4 of my grandchildren to the circus on Saturday. It has been years since I have been to the circus and we all had a great time. The kids all said it was awesome and there was even one moment when we thought an acrobat was going to fall from a wheel at the top of the tent. Everyone gasped and held their breath - very scary! But he regained his balance and was OK.
It has also been a very long time since I've been to the Sydney Easter Show but maybe this year I will get there. There are still a few days left.
I do hope you are enjoying your holidays.
Don't forget to send in your entries to the new colouring competition on the website.
We have already received some fantastic entries and as always it is my job is to collect them from the letterbox - a job I love to do! It's a pleasure to find the beautiful pictures you have created!
