We were very fortunate to have Diana Queenin at school
this afternoon sharing her interesting experiences and passion for reading with
our Te Mahia School tamariki. Diana has travelled to many places in the world
and shared with us some treasures she acquired along the way. Her treasures
included a stingray barb, different types of fossils (a geode, trilobite and
ammonite), a nautilus shell, the skin of an Egyptian cobra, and an empty shell
of a horseshoe crab.
Diana worked at the New York Museum of National History
(this Museum is seen in the children’s movie ‘A Night at the Museum’) and
mentioned to the children that she had to study a lot which involved a lot of
reading before she could work in the museum. Her job involved talking to people
about dinosaurs and sea life, some of the many wonderful artifacts in the
museum.
Diana is an enthusiastic reader and captivated our
tamariki with her exciting stories she told. She encourages everyone to read
because reading is key to knowledge and learning.
Thank you for sharing some of your special treasures and
inspiring stories with the tamariki of Te Mahia School!
