Book week at our school

This week was book week. There was a play performed in our school hall on Tuesday.

The play was about the treasure hunt what has been written by Craig christie.

There were two tribals living on an Island. These two tribes were blaming each other for stealing each others song.

The treeland tribal was led by george and seaview. Tribal was led by Jessica. These two characters teamed up to solve the problem about the lost treasure that was their song.

The problem was solved when they were able to put the torn map together and worked out how to get to the treasure. They had to read these different books to the problem.

I really enjoyed this play because both the characters were very smart and talented. They sang very well and were also very hilarious.

Thank you Sam and Lydia for coming to our school. We hope to see you again next year.
