This term we learned about Lynley Dodd. Who is Lynley Dodd? Lynley Dodd is a New Zealand author and illustrator, and she makes books for children! She has made lots of books in her lifetime, her first ever book was “My cat likes to hide in boxes”. But that isn’t all she has made way more books! Her most famous ones are “Hairy Maclairy” ” Zachary Quack” “schnitzel Von Krumm’ and lots more!
Lynley Dodd was born in Rotorua on the 5 of July 1941 she is now 84 and still alive! she also grew up in NZ and she graduated from Elam School.
In my class we had to choose a group and choose a character from one of her big time books in my group we had : Aadi, Harkaran, Keyan and Zachary. And the character we choose was slinky Malinky and it was a cat! We also had to make a speech and actions based on the character for our Whole School Assembely. I was also the speaker of the speech and my group did the actions it was also really hard to prepare but our class nailed it and I was also really nervous it front of about 700 people!
Finally this term it was really fun learning about Lynley Dodd. Thanks for reading!
