Well what a beautiful surprise we started with just one little Robin reading buddy and now we have two! Our stunning text ‘Coming Home’ is all about a robin trying to find his way home and we find out his home is actually another robin rather than a place. It looks like since we’ve been writing our own poetry based on this text our little class robin has also found her way home and has been joined by a new little robin. Such a magical morning with lots of excited faces all ready to continue their wonderful writing today.
