"The Wonky Donkey"

On Tuesday of last week we had visiting author, Craig Smith, come and talk to the school. Craig is also a song writer and has a CD of songs which is available at Whitcoulls. His book, “The Wonky Donkey,” was written from one of these songs. “The Wonky Donkey” has been shortlisted for the NZ Post Book Awards as one of the best picture books. The books which have made it to the finals will be displayed in the school library and children will be able to vote for their favourite next term.
Below are some reports from Room 6 about Craig Smith.

On Tuesday Craig Smith came to Clifton Terrace School and sang a song called . . .
“The Wonky Donkey.” It is funny because it has a stinky donkey in it. It starts off like this:
“I was walking down the road and I saw a donkey. Hee how.”

We went to the hall to see Craig Smith. He sang some songs and then he sang, “The Wonky Donkey.” It was very funny. I asked him, “Do you have a real donkey?” and he said, “No.”

Today we went t the hall to see Craig Smith and he sang some songs for us. My favourite song was “The Wonky Donkey.” He sang 5 more songs. Room 3 and Room 4 and Room 6 and Room 2 and Room 15 and Room 8 all came.
