Well, it’s a Friday and Julie and I are sitting back and thinking about the amazing two weeks we’ve just had, meeting students from all around the Riverland and imagining cities!  Each class came up with hilarious suggestions, and I look forward to taking them all away, and starting to invent a world.

Julie and I imagine it will be full of big buildings (as big as the ones in the stunning model made by Mrs Hurst’s class in Glossop!).  And it might have some problems to solve (but maybe not as scary as snakes and volcanoes and giant caterpillars with hats that have eyes, which some of you came up with!).  And the city might be called a cool name – like ‘Umbrada’ or ‘Hedgehog and Fox World But Forget The Echidna’ (my favourite one!).  It might involve a couple of heroes, and a lot of other interesting characters, and Michael Jackson’s hand might even stick out from behind a building or two (thanks Renmark West!).

But whatever happens, it will have the shape of a story like yours – where we meet a city, we see what threatens it, we come up with a solution, then a problem gets in the way, and finally a hero works out how to save the day.  But what the city or the problem or the solution is, doesn’t exist yet – we’re all going to find out together.  And I can’t wait!

Thank you to nine schools and three hundred kids for a very fun two weeks.  Now stay tuned as we head into the…
