Pie- Rats in Space

 Dr Cameron Stelzer , author and illustrator of The Stroogle series of books, visited Grafton Public School students and engaged them in a series of workshops.
Kinder- Yr 2 were able to delve into Cameron's newest story
The Stroogle in space. Students were able to re-visit the many familiar characters they have come to know by reading about the Stroogle's adventures. The Illustrations kept the students intrigued and held additional challenges, including finding the letter and number on each page.

Students Yr 3- Yr 6 perticipated in an Imaginative Illustration workshop. This involves taking the head, body and tail from 3 differetn animals and creating your own imaginative creature.
