NZ Books, Fiction or Non-fiction – Read Them All!
A group of ten students ventured down to Hawera one sunny Monday not so long ago. We were the two teams our school was entering into the annual Taranaki Literacy Challenge (the first entries in a number of years).
Each team of five had to read 10 books over a period of about three months. The books were finalists in the NZ Post Children’s Book Awards 2012 competition. Five were fiction and five were non-fiction. Organising which book was going to who and when got very messy - especially towards the end.
When it came to the day we had to answer many different questions relating to all the books. This was a challenge to many of us and a total breeze for others. The day was filled with laughter and excitement. Unfortunately we did not get a placing, however it was loads of fun and great experience.
