Another exciting piece of news – after school today I received a message to say that out of 105 entries, Haruna in 3BY won the Hungry Caterpillar colouring competition with her entry!!  Haruna went to a lot of trouble with not only carefully colouring her picture, but also patiently cutting out pieces of coloured wool and sticking them on her caterpillar and the sun!  What a creative person you are Haruna!  This is her entry below.

 

The judges’ comment about Haruna’s work was “A creative use of mixed media, colour and pattern, but also good technique”. We are very grateful that Haruna entered the competition on behalf of our LRC so the Very Hungry Caterpillar will be able to live in the Fiction area of our new LRC.

You might like to congratulate and thank Haruna when you see her.  We will thank Haruna  and the 37 other children who entered the competition officially at assembly next Tuesday.

I have made an Animoto video of some of the entries I have received so far for the Very Hungry Caterpillar competition.  Thank you VERY much to the 38 children who have entered on behalf of our LRC!  I think it will be a very difficult decision for the judges at Readings bookshop!!!  Keep your fingers crossed that one of our entries might win the beautiful hungry caterpillar for our LRC….

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is 40 years old this year!  I could safely say that nearly every child in this school has a copy of this book in their home library.  Ask your mum and dad if they read The Very Hungry Caterpillar when they were little.

Readings book shop in Carlton is running a colouring competition for a lucky person to win a large plush Hungry Caterpillar.  Our LRC would make the perfect home – especially if we get a new LRC!!!

If you would like to enter the competition on behalf of our LRC you can collect a colouring sheet from the LRC.  You can also  download a copy of the colouring sheet and see the Hungry Caterpillar prize here.  If you want me to post your entry I will need it at the LRC by Tuesday, June 2nd.
