This week Room 19 were focusing on Lynley Dodd who wrote the famous Hairy Maclary books. Here is some of the kids responses to characters in her books.

Next we had to cut out the waves to make it look like the real moana.  The last step was to use coloured tissue paper to collage our sun set background. Viola there you have it. Our masterpiece is now complete!
